I don't think there is a point in getting it complete. You choose the XEPs you want by looking at what your client/server goals are.
Also if you need help in choosing, there are pointer XEPs, like the Compliance Suites, or the mailing list, or the chatrooms. See https://xmpp.org/community/

Fair enough, 'complete' might be the wrong word here too (as you do not have to support all XEPs), but currently my biggest problem is, that Conversations (Android XMPP client) works pretty good (something I would consider 'complete' in terms of messaging), but I could not find any desktop client which works on a similar feature level.
For example how many desktop clients support OMEMO, MAM and Carbon copies? Those are just 3 XEPs all related to secure multi device communication. Yes, they haven't reached the status recommended yet, but I think that is more a symptom than the root of the problem.
Desktop client support is lacking, but I think Dino (a relative newcomer) does a pretty good job of being compatible with Conversations and being "modern" (for some handwavey value of "modern") messenger based on XMPP:
Last time I tried Dino was 4th August, but I can't remember what made me stick with Pidgin. But hey, if Sam Whited suggests Dino I will try it again :-D
I love the XMPP and Golang stuff you are doing.
And far as I can see it Dino seems to have pretty good XEP collection nowadays:

Dino's still relatively new software so it may not be all that stable yet (I don't actually use it enough to know). I hope it works out for you though; it looks nice if nothing else!

Thanks! It's still very early days and I don't get a lot of time to work on it, but I'm glad someone has seen it and found it useful.

When in doubt, ask the author/council.
