Have you considered using ZNC or another IRC "bouncer"? It'll retain and

consistent message history between computers and devices. Pretty easy to
install if you have a Linux server somewhere, and hardly uses any resources.
I am also using ZNC myself. It definitely makes the experience with IRC
better, but the effort is shifted to the individual user. Even having
access to a server to self-host a bouncer is not common.
With RocketChat as an example, everyone gets these features out of the
box without taking additional action.

I agree: running ZNC yourself is for advanced users, and is a barrier to
entry. Having this stuff out of the box for all users is better.
Cheers,
