Telegram has fully reproducible builds and is not that complicated to build, no issues there. They even have a guide on how to build & verify. [0] No need to wrangle or modify, generally builds as is (at least from my experience).

Granted yes, the version commits are squashed like you said. [1] However I haven't seen source release to lag behind store releases, any sources on that?

That repo is not fully open.

Release lag -> Telegram foss needs to wrangle the release every time. Fdroid CI takes its time.

Which parts are missing?

A couple months ago I actually verified a build of Telegram on my friend's phone as he thought something might be off and didn't have any issues there (the build matched).
