Sounds ridiculous that a chat app can consume that much.

Could we maybe use a terminal client? Seen this : https://github.com/evanyeung/terminal-slack but I cannot build it. Anyone else tried it?

Slack has an IRC bridge that works incredibly well. I have used it daily on past projects. Load up your favorite terminal IRC client and go at it.

How would this work when a team member attempts to screen share or video/audio call?

That rarely/never happens to me. I use it for chat 95% of the time, the other 5% might be someone posting a gist or quoting some code. So for my use, a terminal client is more than enough.
