I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

Just self host the bridges. I mean if you trust your phone more than your server, this won't help.

Do whatever you want, but again, make sure your contacts can make an informed decision about it.

I bet none of my contacts made an informed decision about which chat app they are using. I don't think that this really bothers one of them. Most of them do not know, what the difference between Insta-pms and Whatsapp even is, as far as security and privacy are concerned. And from my point of view I don't know it detailed enough too. Making an informed decision about a closed source software and as a non technical person is not as easy as you may think. At least from my point of view.
