The proper question is: what's your threat model?
I use signal to chat with my wife. I'm glad it offers good enough protection that my country's secret service is whining endlessly that it can't get in. I'm glad our inappropriate jokes don't easily become public.
At the same time, I'm sure that a determined and competent adversary could compromise my phone without needing to break signal's encryption or engineer fairly sophisticated mitm attacks.
I'm fine with that level of security, and don't want a more annoying UI when a device is reset. Because even with the current setup, the chat protocol isn't the weakest link anymore.
