I got most of my family and some friend groups on Signal, because of the simple fact that it is just like WhatsApp.
It should even be a little more like WA because all said family use it with that pincode pop-up open... None of them understand it, and all of them expect to loose all their conversations when they loose their phone so who cares. For some I turned it off, but that should be easier. That said, I wish WA would have Signal's way of sending Gifs (or Jifs as some people call them).
I fully agree with this article by the way. Got my brother on Matrix and it was pain (he lost access quickly). I Started a Matrix group on fosdem, within a day people were complaining that I should turn of encryption because they had issues (from their own server probably), I never managed to do that... I love Matrix and use it a lot for communities, but Signal just works.

The closest thing to that you could do would probably be creating a new room without encryption and closing (tombstoning) the old room with a link to the new room.
