A bonus to self-hosting is now you’ll have an XMPP server you & your chatmates & org can use for decentralized, federated chat—may as well add a new virtualhost & ditch that proprietary chat option.
I have a server and it's decentralized? Isn't that a contradiction of terms? Wake me up when my teammates and I can message each other from our mobile devices without the involvement of any other computer...

Routers are computers. You'll be waiting a long time.
You already can, apart from some DHT and bootstrapping stuff.
I tried to like Jami, but it never worked right when I tried it. I didn't find a decent Android Tox client with video call, but it should work alright for text.
I would not recommend Tox anymore, as it is unmaintained - https://lists.tox.chat/pipermail/support/2023-August/000340....
It was a decent piece of tech, though!
I think that you're refering to qTox(which is currebtly not being maintained). Tox, the protocol, continues development as usual.
Really? I guess you guys are active elsewhere and not on the mailing lists, because those are as dead as a very dead thing. :)
Edit: Also, development is happening on github: https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore
