Keeping your chats secure is a good idea, but end-to-end encryption is just the beginning of the list of options to consider when picking a messaging app.
SimpleX is what I use. I tried Signal in the past, but there was a noticeable delay in receiving messages and it caused problems when using it to communicate with family.
I have no problems with SimpleX so far. It works well and looks modern. A feature I like is that you can create a different user identity for each contact/ chat thread. It also supports socks5 proxy.
Maybe, but I normally only leave battery optimization on for apps that shouldn’t be running in the background at all. This was several years ago, though. If Signal isn’t like that anymore, that’s a good thing.

You might’ve had background battery optimization enabled
