I had no idea that bridges like this existed; looking at the matrix bridge docs this looks perfect! And I’ve heard good things about matrix in general. Good point that using a combination of apps is more realistic than trying to find one that does everything.

Non-federated Matrix server with rooms bridged to Discord/Whatsapp/Slack/whatever, so everyone can join.
Use standard webapps for other stuff like polls, surveys, events etc and send the URL to an announcement channel. Not sure of exact solutions but if one app can do it all and send email reminders for them, thatd be great. Same can be done for VoIP with Jitsi links, or even Z**m links.
Backup the databases if you need the chat logs. All of this should be doable with a small VPS, but a mini PCs cluster could be better

PieFed does events and polls, fyi.
Also check out rocket chat, it’s a FOSS self hostable slack clone.

Having gone through it, a matrix server is not newbie friendly yet.
