So you'd have the account setup flow but still on a single server only few can control. I'd prefer to see people go for a federated system (eg XMPP with OMEMO for E2E crypto) or work on truly decentralized ones (that one is hard, and blockchain is not a trivial solution ;-) ) rather than propose yet another system where somebody else can control who you can talk to (even if they can't see what you're talking about) as a replacement for the previous system with the very same properties, just ran by a different party.

At least you would have end to end encryption using a protocol regarded as secure. Descentalization would be the next step.

  OMEMO is based on the Signal Protocol, and there's some discussion[0] about the effect of the changes. So in a way this is Signal Protocol (the one "regarded as secure") with that "next step" of adding decentralization already taken.
