From experience, this is simply not true. My version of wechat is registered with a US phone number, installed from the google play store on a google phone, not sponsored, and while I can't put money into wechat pay my friend can still transfer it

You can also still use all the social features everyone is used to in China.

Really? I've had people send me red packets but I can't accep them as I don't have a Chinese bank account or Chinese ID

Can you talk to Chinese users?
Same situation here, and I talk to Chinese friends exclusevly through WeChat
