Signal is safe enough depending on your threat model

If you worry about aws centralization and outages then signal isn't a good option

If your worried about sgx enclave exploitation then it's not a good match

If your worried about us intelligence monitoring traffic then it's not a good fit

So signal is fine for person to person western traffic

Not a good fit for a country needing isolated highly secure messaging... I.e. the french government should NOT use signal, centralized in America, sgx exploits are a concern, and exposing the social and communication graph to the us intelligence services isn't in the french national interest

    It is best to assume that any private US company is compromised in this way

    I would say that's ridiculous for most people, but I guess it entirely depends on your threat model... if you're legitimately worried about state-level boogeymen, you've probably got bigger problems and already know all of this.
