I also help with running a community server which doesn't have the phone number requirement enabled either. It's also not required for partnered servers as far as I'm aware.
You can even get around the email requirement if you just add a bot that gives every new user a role, since any role will automatically verify you as mentioned here.
Ah, I was misremembering whether email or phone verification was required. Either way, it's still a very heavy-weight requirement for what's basically a drop-in drop-out support channel for us.
