Matrix servers are kinda a pain in the ass to get up-and-running and to manage versus, say, XMPP or IRC. Especially if you can't get away with just running someone else's pre-built docker images for it, or whatever.

I've administered both XMPP and Matrix servers and I must say I don't see either as much of a hassle. Synapse had some growing pains but is pretty painless for me these days.

Not true in my experience. Synapse is just as easy to stand up as Prosody, and in fact requires making less choices since you don't have to pick which modules to enable and stuff.
