Could pair Mumble with Discord, but I think the days of people being okay with having a different app for messaging and voice communication is over (when it comes to gaming surely) after a post-Discord world.
Also, as much as I love Mumble and its voice quality (and low latency), Discord is much more plug and play. Mumble needs microphone specific fine tuning to work well. Which is worth it for me, but is nothing you can quickly get someone else to do.
Yeah it’s always a project to get new people started with Mumble. It doesn’t feel like it should be so difficult, but people always struggle.
Ironically, I struggled immensely with forcing Discord to stop messing with my system audio settings, which is apparently something apps are allowed to do in Windows.
In my circle it’s always the fine tuning of voice activation thresholds that causes trouble. Then you either hear every single background noise or half of their sentences are swallowed. Once it’s tuned correctly it’s a bliss, but getting there can be quite exhausting.

That is very true too! The future is uh, not looking so great in that regards sadly.
