Does Matrix allow a client to be idling on some server to act as a bouncer?
There's matrix-ircd, which is in theory a client that acts as an IRCd. I write "in theory" because it's abandonware.
But otherwise with Matrix you don't need bouncers. Your homeserver is your bouncer. You can log in there with many devices, and they'll all sync whenever online.

As a simple test I tried to join #debian over the bridge. It doesn't work out of the box as #debian need registered nicks.
This is something that #debian can work around. We had this problem with #linux.conf.au. See last FAQ of the page I linked. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ
I'm not so confident about bridges though; they are far from user-friendly. Native rooms give a better experience.
This can be fixed.Also, we should have this discussion on #debian-matrix, or another mailing list. Sorry for bringing my evangelism to -vote.
