My impression is that Phabricator's chat app is only very basic, and I don't
have much interest in actual chats anyway -- communication should be without
real-time constraints, such that threads can be revisited after some days,
weeks, months.

The Phabricator project uses Discourse for its community discussion
(corresponding to our isabelle-users), and the onboard Maniphest task tracker
for internal management (corresponding to isabelle-dev).

I take this as another hint that I should look more closely at Discourse (more
than 10min so far).
