If using signal opens you up to more trouble because it interferes with an authoritarian regimes power over you, then signal and what it does to a cellebrite device is hardly a primary concern.
If you live in a country with the rule of law, then just using an app doesn't make you guilty of anything. The fact the this security feature has been publicly declared puts the onus on cellebrite and the police using their devices, to ensure relevant patches are applied at their end to prevent these features from working. These devices are already bypassing android and iOS security features to do what they do, this is no different.
To me these files are essentially similar to a passcode on a device.
