Personally I have yet to see a discussion system that surpasses (or really even comes close) to standard talk page ":::comment here. ~~~~" syntax. Honestly it would make me happy if we just used that in general. The exception being pages with large influxes of newbies, like Project:Support_desk. In those pages LQT really does make a difference to ensure things are well organized.
YMMV. Wikipedia is pretty much enculturated, but RationalWiki gets n00bs *all the time* who object to something on a page. You know what the most frequent reply involves? "Please learn to sign your comments."
Talk pages really aren't a great communication mechanism for non-geeks.
(RW also suffers under a LQT installation that I desperately want to kill and would be most pleased to replace with Flow. I'm going to take us from 1.19 to 1.23 when that's out and stable. Possibly with the VE faff. Will Flow be able to be bolted onto an existing 1.23?)
