Instant Messaging: XMPP or Websocket
So XMPP is an awesome protocol in theory. Also many issues you're trying to solve are probably already solved in one of the specifications and I personally think that XMPP is missing out on clients. Some clients are nice (i.e. Conversations or Dino) but they are not as appealing as Telegram or Discord.

Regarding audits, they happen regularly in the XMPP ecosystem, and if you are looking for e.g. a mobile client which has a good track record, I would suggest to look-up https://conversations.im/ (or https://quicksy.im/ since you are okay with contact discovery using mobile phone numbers), and perhaps https://siskin.im/ as an iOS equivalent.

Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?
If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.
