Is Gabbly appropriate for secure, enterprise communications?

No, it's not. Gabbly sends everything in the clear via their own online servers. Also, you can assume any identity you want. The good thing about Gabbly is that it does not require registration or a complicated setup. It just works out of the box, which is great for adding a chatroom on a page of your wiki.
