Do not trust the FUD.

I've been using XMPP since I had a smartphone (I was late to the party, around 2015) and never needed a persistent connection or had issues with multi-device use. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html solves both and the first version is from 2012.

E2EE via opengpg has been there since the beginning of XMPP, and via OMEMO (signal-like) for 7 years now, just like HTTP file upload.

I don't. I know what I'm talking about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38497839

The question is: when it stopped being experimental and supported by most servers and clients.

You saying things like "experimental or beta proposal" in context of XEPs shows that you don't know what you're talking about. For a while and for several reasons, many XEPs used to be widely implemented already before they have been processed beyond draft state. XSF's process has been unclogged relatively recently.
