Weechat is really impressively good on Matrix, and the plugin is in the final stages of being rewritten in Rust.

The balance between features and core stability is Hard, but hopefully we're getting the balance right (at last). Hydrogen (hydrogen.element.io) is an example of a ludicrously lightweight, stable, but not-yet-featureful Matrix client fwiw, as an example of what the balance looks like for "implementing the difficult bits really really well".
