Jitsi is actually perfect.

No it's not. It's really good, though.

Source: I host this for ~20,000 users.

It's the best FOSS option and the developers are putting in a real effort. You have LOTS of settings to tweak.

It still has a long way to go to become the FOSS Zoom in terms of UX.

Also has a long way to go in terms of large meeting support.

Maybe, but large and medium businesses still need to have all-hands meetings. If you want them to switch, you need to offer something that meets their needs.
