Give it a try again, lots of things have improved with XMPP clients in recent years.
Blocking also usually works, but the default way of dealing with unwanted communication in XMPP is to not approve contacts in the first place. Of course there can always be cases where that might not be feasible and where blocking also fails.
I've more than my fill of XMPP experience since it was Jabber. Pretty completely done with it at this point - and my most recent experiences were still not great, and they're within the past couple of years. My standpoint isn't just from a user level, as well. Have run a few XMPP servers over the years.
Element, on the other hand, has really become an excellent client.
