its really really save
Edit: sorry I misread it as XMR.
XMPP can be very unsafe. It depends on the client you use. Its best to use a protocol that doesn't allow unencrypted messages to be sent at all. Like Wire or Signal.
Kinda depends on your threat model too, like if you don't want your traffic going through the US signal is gonna be a big no no.
This is an implementation thing and not a protocol thing. What protocol doesn't allow unencrypted messages? I am sure signal's protocol would still allow it, it's just that the implementation doesn't.
And same for XMPP. Just go with the implementation that doesn't.
Simplex.chat is the current best one AFAIK
If I understand correctly, you can prohibit non-e2e messages on your server .
