I'm not heavily invested, fair to say I visit iRC a couple times a year other than reading the mirror.
That said the fact it's not a hugely popular medium along with logs going back years and a place where mostly nerds hang out, you can find really great snippets of information you can't find anywhere else.
So I'd vote to keep it and move it to a better network.
I know Discord is the hot new thing and I'm using it excessively myself but it's not without skeletons in its closet (many security and privacy concerns) or guaranteed to be a platform you'd be happy supporting in perpetuity through policy or ownership changes.
I find some value in preserving the old medium than end up in a situation where we jump from platform to platform.
