Do Slack give free access to open source communities like that? Otherwise the price to have search of over 10k messages would be over £70k/mo which I'm guessing they're not paying. Slack's pricing model seems horrific for communities like that.

Not at all. Clojurians Slack does not keeps history for more than a few days because the community does not pay, and it's the major PITA. Slack does not offer any special treatment to large open source communities, other than tolerating their existence.

I wasn’t clear. It’s free for non-profit orgs. Open-source communities that aren’t registered organizations are by definition not non-profit orgs.
