I know at least https://conversejs.org/ does some sort of @mentions, I guess other clients just need more encouragement!

From what I understand, some or all of these XEPs need to be implemented and supported for mentions.

Pretty much all XMPP software supports mentions by scanning incoming messages for... well, a mention of your name.

XEP-0372 (your second link) is a way for sending clients to more explicitly mark mentions in a message. Clients are gradually switching to this instead of the text scanning technique.

The first link you gave is to a proposal in the inbox (it wasn't accepted), and the third to a relatively new proposal that is mostly for servers to help them know when to send push notifications to offline users in a group.
