I make extensive use of Telegram bots for educational purposes (they help me with audio, image requests). I'm thinking about switching to Element/Matrix, but are the bots as capable there too?
Yes, see https://codeberg.org/imbev/simplematrixbotlib and https://github.com/mautrix/python

New Beeper Android App
On-device bridging works like this https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. We'll put together a full technical deep dive for the real launch, this is just an open beta. Our signal bridge code is open source: https://github.com/mautrix/signal
You don't have to use our hosted bridges, we've made it ridiculously easy to self host: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager

Second Phone, Same Signal
Exactly yeah, I used this bridge with this playbook
- Have you tried any decentralized messengers?

Best KaiOS device for a user in the US?
I personally recommend going with a Matrix client and building a bridge to your Signal account.

Hosting Signal frontend on a local server (Like Signal desktop but through website)
OWS has historically been hostile to third party implementations outside of their clients. There are multiple unofficial options but the only one I've been looking at is the bridge with matrix, though setting up a matrix server just for this is likely overkill.

Beeper >> Signal
However, looking at the Matrix docs for the mautrix-signal bridge, it seems to be open-source and end-to-end encrypted. You'll have to look through the source code to figure out how they did that, I guess, because I couldn't find any details.

Let’s chat about RCS
Once you have the home server set up and configured (not covered here because it's a process), clone the bridge repo (for instance mautrix-signal and follow the instructions.

Signald: Unofficial Daemon for Interacting with Signal
the signal matrix bridge currently listed on matrix.org (https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-signal) uses signald
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python and signal you can also consider the following projects:
telegram - A Matrix-Telegram hybrid puppeting/relaybot bridge
matrix-bifrost - General purpose bridging with a variety of backends including libpurple and xmpp.js
instagram - A Matrix-Instagram DM puppeting bridge
SmsMatrix - A simple SMS <--> Matrix bridge.
googlechat - A Matrix-Google Chat puppeting bridge
semaphore - A simple (rule-based) bot library for Signal Private Messenger.
