Wouldn't Mumble be closer to the described use case?

Not really.

Discord has both text and voice (and IIRC video) chat. Mumble is voice only, and the UX is... dated.

Second this. Recently setup Mumble server and it's clearly meant for non-visual use because of its gaming roots. Which is good when you want TTS with chat but annoying to learn and navigate. I suspect it's primary use case is push to talk voice communicate in games.
