So is Matrix and it includes self-hosting and end-to-end encryption enabled by default.

Did they rewrite that crappy Python server in something with better performance by now? I tried self-hosting Matrix a few years ago and gave up after the one room I joined hadn't finished syncing after a whole day (admittedly it was their main matrix chat room with lots of members but still).

There are multiple options for homeservers and the Python one is just one of several implementations. There are others written in C++, Rust, Go!, etc.

Just don't make a new install with Dendrite - it's not really supported anymore. And no automated automation for us who do have Dendrite servers ...

Synapse if you plan to go large, otherwise Conduit, would be my recommendation.
