I know Privacy Guides is the new version of Privacy Tools, but even if so, do the recommendations (or at least most of them) in the old site still apply today?
Signal isn't falling behind and Tox is an old service that has had issues with messages being spoofable since day 1

E2E encrypted voice and chat service similar to Discord/Slack?
You could use a Tox front end like qTox or Toxic. It is a fully encrypted end-to-end communication protocol that allows text, voice, and video chat. The github page for the Tox protocol has some useful caveats about the its security.

Tox: Decentralized and Encrypted Instant Messaging
It links to a bug report discussion where one of the developers states that they don't understand the security properties of tox very well[1].
I find that worrying.

Why developers use IRC instead of XMPP?
They're vulnerable to Key-Change-Interception attacks in a case where a key is stolen from somebody who you're already contacted with. That's a pretty big "if" for people who's concern is dragnet surveillance and not targeted surveillance. https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/issues/426 Also up-to-date Tox clients have a fix for it, apparently, looks like they're holding off on closing the issue until every official client has the fix.

Is using Signal through Tor bad opsec?
Tox is experimental and has very concerning issues.
-
Signal alternatives?
Ouch! Yeah, that was around the time I tried out Tox – did not know about this, though. It's been four years since they were made aware of that crypto hazard, and it seems they have eliminated it.

discord....
Tox has experimental crypto and major vulnerabilities. I wouldn't recommend using it and expecting reasonable security.
