Practicality means using something that has critical mass (of users). Does anything on the list have this?

Are you implying programmers aren't interested in new software? Things are ironic, but not that ironic. If they're really interested, they will try it out. Check out this article for someone's experience with this approach.

That being said, matrix has a considerable userbase already. There's also a web client to make the barrier to entry lower (as well as multiple bridges to other networks).

I am not interested in new software. Why would I be interested in anything produced by modern scum? The SimpleX Chat that you linked to is a perfect example. It looks like typical modern crap. I would rather just use Skype.

Where can I find matrix chat groups, something like disboard? If no one can find my public chat, then it is useless.

Every server has its own public room list. For visibility, it's best to establish your room on matrix.org. But the equivalent of a Discord server are Spaces. (A space is a group of rooms that belong together.) There doesn't seem to be a public list of spaces yet; you have to invite people manually.
