No message history while not logged in.

IRCv3 (and many clients are supporting fair chunks of IRCv3's feature set) supports offline state and message history.

isn't IRC only Text? What about the Voice Chat?

IRC does not even have offline messages, unless you pay / host a bouncer. Which you first have to know about.

I'm not sure if any client has solve this, but what about image / video / file hosting? You can't just drag 'n drop a image into a chat. You have to host it on a 3rd party site and link it.

I do wonder how server management is now adays. In Discord you can host your own server with a few clicks and make it easy to adjust permissions and controls invites. I would assume IRC is also lacking behind. But would love to hear more about the current state.

Discord has invite links, where people without the app or account can quickly join. In IRC you have the IRC:// link, but that does not work for people who don't have a client installed. Then you can do a web client link, but that is not optimal for people who already have their favorite client set up :)
