i don't know should i agree or not. if i think the following. having one app for all communicatiosn and it is whatsapp, i'm not sure that one app philosophy is good.

your case doesn't sound problematic. but definitely signal app should not have sms and mms by default, and should not suggest sms/mms messaging when installing. user have to manually switch sms and mms option on.
