Indeed, a lot of communities are moving to Libera. However, centralization is what caused the mess with freenode in the first place, thus communities spreading to different services may not be such a bad idea. As long as the channels themselves are not split, that is.

After considering Libera and OFTC as options, the board settled on recommending OFTC. The primary reason for this is because OFTC is associated with our parent foundation SPI, and has a long and well known history of involvement with the open source community. As well, the board believes OFTC's current Governance model is a lot more clear then Libera's.
I'd personally prefer Libera Chat. They don't yet have a published formal governance model, but I hope this will come soon. As the former Freenode staff, I trust them to make sure mistakes from the past won't be repeated.
Apart from politics, Libera also offers a more modern feature set. This can ease daily usage, with features such as reliable authentication, account tracking, and many other IRC protocol improvements. OFTC has plans to eventually migrate to Solanum, but they don't have the time to do it for now.
For reference, on OFTC:
