I'm currently using https://intensedebate.com/ which, while abandonware, allows people to comment anonymously or using their Twitter & Facebook accounts.

How hard would it be to add non-Matrix accounts to this service?

Can't speak for the author about Cactus, but in my experience if you want to integrate with a lot of services for comments on your blog, you can use a widely-implemented protocol like webmention, along with a gateway like brid.gy for interfacing with centralized silos.

Unfortunately Facebook shut down the brid.gy gateway a few years ago, but other silos still interoperate fine.
