WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
We had a Django-based backend when building an intranet site for a pretty big company (~4k employees) and used https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo for delivering real-time updates to users. We had chat widgets, live counters, live comment system, also several corporate multiplayer games based on it. I think it's much more simple to understand and integrate with than Django Channels, more transports supported and scales better. So maybe give it a chance if you are not happy with Channels.
