Mumble generally has better voice quality and it's more straightforward to maintain good server performance than it is with Discord with its relatively opaque and game-ish 'server boost' feature.

I would love something like this for wow raiding, sometimes I want to say something thats relevant only to my fellow class/role but the raid leader is saying something important. We ended up just having a teamspeak server running in parallel with discord for my class, which worked but is understandably not optimal.
I'm frequently on a mumble server that can have 1000 people on it at the same time. A channel hierarchy is vital to global broadcasts from command, allowing foot soldiers to shout important information to command, allowing platoon leaders to communicate to their subordinates, allowing squad leaders to communicate to just their subordinates, and allowing the foot soldiers to chit chat to just their squads.
Discord is fine for playing video games with friends, but its voip is a nightmare for actually organized groups who are voip power users.
