I'm in pretty much the same situation - the main reason why I use Facebook is to message friends. Basically all my friends have Facebook, so it's the easiest way. Messenger seems to be moving more and more towards a snapchat clone, where as I just want something to message people. I don't want to post updates, play games, see ads, make phone calls, get spammed when someone new signs up. iMessage before iOS 10 was perfect, except not all my friends use Apple.
