> but decided it wasn't an avenue worth pursuing To add some colour - there are commercial implementations of that (e.g. https://www.isode.com/whitepapers/federated-muc.html https://www.isode.com/whitepapers/federated-muc.html ).

That's not to say there aren't use cases where it is more valuable to have this functionality.
