XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
> then try to find your contacts again (which may be cached by your client or not)
You can save XMPP account IDs in any mobile address book.
> Finally, you have to convince "someone" that this is just you with another account on another server. There is also no verified E2EE anymore.
I'd pretty much just do a video call at that point.
> How is this different from "when Signal goes down one uses a completely different instant messaging system", apart from using another client?
You don't have to use another client software.
> Which means: If one of these hosting companies blocks XMPP traffic (e.g., if a rogue state starts censoring) or one of these XMPP servers goes down, a huge part of XMPP users is affected.
Equally applies to most messaging apps out there. Some XMPP apps have the benefit of also supporting using Tor and hidden services - Signal/WhatsApp/etc, don't.
Don't want to use the Internet at all? You can even go wild and do something like: https://github.com/ddamianus/Lora-Chat-Device - I realize this is something most people would not do, but XMPP's _flexibility_ allows this to be an option if it was something people wanted. Can't do Signal over LoRa.

AFAIK Conversations is one of the best, if not the best. On F-Droid it’s gratis, on Google Play it costs something.

Jabber.org, the original XMPP IM service has migrated to Prosody IM
Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up.

Chat app without undo or delete of messages
Maybe have a look at Briar or good old Jabber (XMPP) with OTR or OMEMO, e.g. implemented in Conversations.
