I'm still using XMPP right now (it's making a comeback) and as an end user, it is fantastic. If, of course, you don't want jingle.
XML is still too much, and there are too many messages being passed around, and the protocol is extensible to the point that it doesn't function in a uniform way (something we are already seeing in nostr, which is, I've heard, not a general message transport protocol) but it works and works well, dare I say it's the meat messaging protocol we have to this day.
