Wondering if you plan to keep running the team on Discord forever -- I feel like larger companies who care about operations & privacy/security usually move to an enterprise solution like Slack or self-host a tool. Can Harmony join any kind of calls (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, Slack, etc.) in the future and implement the same functionality?
In my team we've used the open source https://craig.chat/ and hooked it up to a Whisper API which lets us (1) control security of the recordings / transcripts; and (2) is ultra cheap if you sequence the transcription as bulk rather than real time.
Once we have the transcript there is then a pipeline which uses [insert your LLM of choice] and chains together prompts which (1) isolates only work-talk and then (2) produces various summaries for knowledge management / issue tracking.
games companies often have internal discord servers since they generally have a public discord server for players, so it keeps you in the same space. Plus when you screen share you can select between "full resolution, low frame rate" or "full frame rate, low resolution"; the full resolution at 5fps option is actually really good for pair programming. With that said, both game studios I worked at also had Slack and primarily used Slack.

I like the idea of someone getting an agenda item promoted because they bought a boost or used a server tag.
Which is fine until they pick the wrong window to fire back with creative insults at their guildmates.
This is great!

Of all the places to run a team...
I think early stage startups use it because: a. Gen Z b. Free c. Free and Gen Z
No respectable organization uses Discord if they are concerned with access control and encryption. Who knows, Discord might become that guy.

Considering the rumblings about a near-term IPO for Discord I would be looking at alternatives yesterday.
I'm disappointed in the availability of self-hosted alternatives for personal use right now, but businesses don't really have an excuse.
