But I hate how much metadata that Wire leaks.

This is the first I have heard of this - can you point me to any sites?

Wire API calls use WebRTC, DTLS, SRTP, and TURN relays, which all encrypt data but leak metadata
Creator, timestamp, participants, devices, and group name are stored server-side https://github.com/wireapp/wire/issues/103
Server therefore can infer who is connected to whom and which devices belong to each account https://github.com/wireapp/wire/issues/214
No mitigation from timing attacks https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstreams/669f99ed-bbdc-4818-b0b9-0519e0427d42/download
