I run Signal just fine without Google Play Services. I am using e/OS which doesn't have it bundled.

I disabled it, it complained a lot and images/media wouldn't load.

Install the alternative APK that doesn’t use Play Services. https://signal.org/android/apk/

I believe I installed that but what I need is probably microg like the sibling comment suggests.

e/OS comes with MicroG as replacement.
