Beeper Mini Is Back
I don't think they're using false or duplicate Apple devices for this. I think that it may be likely they are using AWS resources for it: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
When AWS first came out with these, this was my first thought. People could spin up an EC2 instance and use it for iMessage, and Beeper came to be shortly after this feature went live in AWS.

How reliable are Spot Instance interruption signals?
These have been recently deprecated. In order to reduce interruptions I would recommend you to diversify over multiple instance types, ideally using https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-instance-selector and to use EC2 fleet API with the capacity optimized allocation strategy.
