You don't get zoom's government platform by default, you have to ask for it and I'll bet it has different pricing. I suspect you also lose some features, like recording (at least at the server). I haven't checked Zoom but other FedRamp products I've seen are 3x the price of the standard offering.

  FedRAMP moderate doesn't require an isolated, US citizen-only-staffed, environment. Only FedrAMP High requires that, so they can still be on shared infra for moderate.

I'm not sure what FedRAMP is but I work at an FFRDC and Slack is explicitly banned for all ITAR materials. Mattermost is used, though

  FedRAMP Moderate is insufficient for ITAR work, that's true. The problem is that in order to get the appropriate rating, one of the things you have to do is go through the FedRAMP process, and only Slack, Zoom, and MS Teams are even trying. Mattermost is self-hostable, so as long as you tightly control access, a lot of the SaaS prohibitions don't apply.
