Signal I suppose is open source, but doesn't it contain closed source Google binary blobs? It also routes through closed source notification libraries

  Pretty sure it's impossible to not use closed source Google or Apple pieces for a functional app these days. Last I looked in to it, the only way to actually deliver notifications is to run through Google or Apple since the OSs don't want every app running their own background processes draining battery.

    Practical concerns must not matter for a purity test.

    On iOS that's basically true, but on android there are a lot of battery preserving options
