According to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 :

So it doesn't look like any extra steps are required.
- sneak 4y agoThe extra steps are having everyone else you iMessage with also turn off iCloud Backup. Messages are all backed up twice by default: once from each device. Turning off iCloud Backup is like migrating off of gmail to keep daddy G from reading your correspondence: it doesn't work when everyone else you correspond with is still being surveilled.
