Signal relies on GCM, and needs a smartphone app. I'm failing to see the win.

Not anymore since 3.30.0. Also CopperheadOS maintained a fork on their fdroid repo without the hard Google Play store dependency.

The more I dig into Signal, the more complicated everything with it is.

Just go XMPP with OMEMO, so no hard smartphone dependency, no electron app monsters. Thankfully XMPP doesn't have a problem with 3rd party and federation.
