I being a MediaWiki developer see this as a great step forward. Currently there are too many channels, where the information is all scattered around.
Finding help seems impossible at times on IRC. Mailing lists are difficult to follow. For search I use a Google so it kind of works, but the archives are difficult to comprehend. Discourse sounds like a great alternative.
I would also ask if there's a possibility to import content from other places to the new Discourse site, if that's not too much to ask(fingers crossed).

If the proposal is triggered by technical problems at [[mw:Project:Support desk]], a simple solution is to make it a wikitext page.
As for the "one place" argument, https://xkcd.com/927/ applies.
