tox isnt close to being new its been around for years
Yes, it is certainly not new, but most alternatives are discontinued or being replaced by proprietary alternatives and/or often paid ones. Tox is one of the few that continues to develop actively, for this reason I have thought of posting it for those who do not know it. Besides, it is still a good and valid app.

XMPP and Matrix are very much still in development.
They don’t have onion routing etc though, so they are a somewhat different class of messenger. They work through Tor, but typically aren’t used that way.
Yes, various clients support Tor and can even use servers that are hosted as hidden services: https://gist.github.com/dllud/a46d4a555e31dfeff6ad41dcf20729ac
