I don't feel like this would go over well. Right now, social interaction is limited to the meetings. Any coordination has to happen then, and it happens in plain sight of everyone. That's pretty important to the flow of the game as it currently is, and that means that changing it would take a lot of rebalancing and changes to the rest of the game to make it match. That's a pretty big undertaking, and I doubt it's worth the risk of hurting gameplay that it brings.

Proximity chat could easily be just an option like everything else. There are already mods that allow this and I have seen many youtubers play using it. It adds a different dynamic just like anonymous voting, being able to see tasks, and impostor confirmations. It doesn't need rebaling of anything honestly, what flow would it change? If you can only hear people near you and not someone across the map.

That would definitely be the best way of doing it, but I think you underestimate just how much this would change things. Right now, imposters can count on crew only being able to coordinate during a meeting. Proximity chat changes that, and it means they can communicate without a time limit or larger issue to address. That's a huge buff to crewmates.

you could just make it an option in game settings menu that way you don't have to use it if you don't want to it could also be used for roleplay

This is a thing that should stay a mod and not be integrated into the actual game. this comes with a lot more flaws then anything else for the game.

close enough but not enough to be the winner in my discussion

Uh... The game doesn't even have voice chat. So they'd need to implement a new system, which I'm not opposed to, and then edit the new system even more to have proximity chat.

so what we get from this discussion it have it's pros and cons, maybe like the winner comment said if we can make it by choice whether you want to join a voice lobby or not, but still the game is good the way it is now, we're all here gave some of our free time to have a pointless discussion with a stranger to try to improve the game.
