I really wonder why Discord didn’t start an enterprise offering called Concord. I’m sure there’s enough kids using it that it would get some traction.

Yeah, Discord not going into competition with Slack or Teams has been an own-goal that I've been baffled by for years. Given that Slack apparently thinks their incredibly subpar offering is worth $200k a year, I can't imagine why Discord wouldn't roll out a "We'll run a standalone instance of Discord with your information siloed and DMs retained for legal purposes, with full Nitro/Boost perks for $ALOTOFMONEY/user" version of their software.
It's quite fortuitous Discord never went down this path you've outlined. "Concord" is now a term synonymous with abject and astounding failure. "Unity" is also taken and fraught with negative associations. "Harmony" might be free.
“Harmony” is a line of programmable remote controls from Logitech.
