I'm on 3 slack teams, one with some former co-workers, one for a non-profit that teaches coding and one for a side project.
If any of them suggested IRC I probably wouldn't have bothered.
As it is, I have the desktop client on my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my Windows laptop and the app on my iPhone.
It's great. IRC is not. That's my opinion. You don't even give any good reasons why it doesn't work for open source projects.
