MODERATORS
The major clients now do have OMEMO. Yea, I agree it's flawed but that's so far it's the one I settled on. Do you know other, more refined selfhostable solutions? I am now looking for development there but doubt I'd get few people that I already got there to switch again.
Not aware that there is a modern decentralized secure and private chat protocol. Sadly. I also am not aware of any developmenta of something like that, so XMPP is the best we got (for decentralized open widly supported protocols)
I know that a lot of clients do encryption of the message body by default, but it still leaves a lot of stuff in plain text (afaik).
