What do you think Telegram? ... I think it would fulfill quite well with many of your expectations. In my case, I made me very similar to yours questions and Signal not meet all I needed.
When I installed Telegram already had several of my contacts in it and now I have the majority. For each individual conversation I use secret chats default and even for groups there is only the possibility of chats in the cloud, do not talk issues of great secret with my teams, I also believe that in the future will be implemented something similar due to changes they have made similar applications.
In my work we use a custom client, but that does not stop to communicate with the official client or other forks available (On Android does not depend on Play Services and is optional). Finally, Telegram privacy policies and encryption system for the cloud chats give me confidence, even more than the service Signal (Metadata, location of the servers, etc.)
