I too tried Wire and was really hoping it'd be good.

It was just OK instead. I haven't seen lost messages, but I've seen them taking several minutes to go through with both clients online and on the same LAN. The UI was not quite there yet too. Routine basic operations required extra taps, it felt less snappy and responsive than you'd expect it to be. So, yeah, it can be used in a pinch, but it's not yet ready as a drop-in replacement for Telegram.
