Eh, I have a different experience. Teams runs in my system out of the
box (Ubuntu 19.04 / Gnome).

The client does not speak with the window manager well (it deletes the
window decoration and does not give me equivalent functionality, like
keeping the window above others, or in all virtual desktops), but
other than that I have had no complaints so far.

I do agree that the chat interface is cluncky. It sends me
notifications about new messages, but if I receive several messages on
different channels, it can be a bit unintuitive to track down all of
them.
