Element on iOS is absolutely, definitely, slow!
Desktop is better or worse or the same?
Matrix is a terrible experience, honestly. It’s incredibly slow and their “servers” don’t really function as a community as much as a series of chat groups.
Discord is feature-rich. And now has the option to submit posts, which drastically increases usability and searchability. But it does have a big problem with privacy and ads.
Projects like this are much better suited for something like Gitlab.

matrix.org works just fine. Nowadays, the experience is as good as on any other chat app

Element is the thing that’s subpar (to be generous) compared to other chat apps. Element X is better for the features that have been implemented, but the current feature set is very incomplete.

Mobile yes, desktop isn’t subpar ime

Even desktop is more resource heavy than it should be. But yes, mobile is much worse.

Beg to differ.
