Matrix is good. Element is not. It is a terrible application filled with bugs that ends up limiting the quality of other client applications.
I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.
German military uses matrix with their own messenger.
