The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
tbh Matrix was pretty green 5 years ago, so you probably didn't miss much. Thanks for considering a slidge-matrix bridge. On the Matrix side, we already have https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost as our main Matrix<->XMPP bridge, but it could definitely be better, and the more interop between open protocols the better \o/ :)

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
Unfortunately XMPP<->Matrix end-to-end encryption is a contradiction in terms. You have to speak the same protocol from end-to-end, otherwise you'd have to break the end-to-end encryption to translate from one protocol to the other. The closest you could get would be to run the Matrix<->XMPP bridge clientside alongside your Matrix client... but at that point you might almost as well be running a multihead messenger that speaks both Matrix & XMPP.
In terms of adding Matrix to MUCs; i believe we're working on it in Bifrost, which is in active albeit slightly sporadic dev: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost.

Synapse Server: can't add Stickers
i just wanted to add some Telegram Stickers with stickerpicker. Unfortunately i always get the SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate error. The reason that i post it here is, that i think it might come ether from a bug or a misconfigured reverse proxy and someone here might already had this issue.

Stickers and stickerpacks?
For Element, most people probably use the stickers built into Dimension and that's probably also going to be your default sticker provider on most public home servers. I found the flexibility of Dimension to also be kind of lacking (and Dimension stickers inexplicably don't work on Element Android), so I ultimately went with maunium-stickerpicker. It's not super easy to set up and add stickers to, but it gives you flexibility to add sticker packs from Telegram fairly easily once you figure it out. It unfortunately does not work with Telegram animated sticker packs, however. And you have to manually set it up for each user that wants to use it using the admin API 🤷
