If you want to go self-hosted then Mattermost may be worth considering. There 
are of course also other solutions.

My main point was though that I would love to have an official, yet informal, 
modern chat option with discord/mattermost like features in *addition* to the 
mailing list (which I do not want to replace).

Chat serves a different purpose. An official (yet informal) instance would go a 
long way to encourage quick discussions between people that otherwise would not 
meet. Lacking this, people will just self-organise like they do today (IRC, 
telegram, their own discord etc). The downside of this is that there will be 
less interaction between them as they gravitate into their own groups.
