Personally I just uninstalled the fork yesterday and just switched to default Lineage messaging app to receive SMS messages (and rarely write some) and for the rest I'm using Whatsapp, since only like 4 of my contacts were on Signal anyway (and I talk rarely only with 1 of them).
But I'm always looking for E2E messaging app with SMS support as backup option for Whatsapp (and pls no Facebook/Google/Microsoft product, I'm aware they all have something like that).
There's also Silence, which is a fork of Signal from back when it used to be TextSecure. It only does SMS.
