I am also pretty supportive of the new site. The lean zulip basically flash
mobbed the site proposal page and pushed it to "committed" status in record
time (it often takes months, but here it reached critical mass in a single
weekend). The Coq zulip also seems interested in participating, and
Isabelle might also join in although the leadership there is very
anti-corporatism so they might just stick to what they are doing.

As for metamath, it's definitely nice to have a place to post Q/A questions
about metamath without them being off topic and unlikely to reach anyone.
But a lot of the prover communities are concerned about splitting
discussion between the stack exchange and the mailing list / chat room /
forum that they have been using until now, and metamath has a similar issue
(when should you use the google group vs the stack exchange?). My guess is
that it won't be too successful, but I'm signed up for the new site and
we'll see how it goes.
