Well it's broader than that IMO. I would have been surprised to hear
that today's servers can't handle large amount of IM messages on their

be quite far behind these days.
this depends on your definition of "large amount".
I think you can't write a pubsub component which is perfect for every
use case. As pointed out here before its pretty easy to code your own
custom Pubsub component designed for your use case and payloads.
Normally you need only a subset of the pubsub specification in your apps.
XMPP is very easy to get started with, but can get also very complicated
very fast. If you want to deploy XMPP and have success with it you need
the tools but also lots of knowledge to use and/or extend them.
This is why we have seen many success stories, but also companies which
failed.
