Though it’ll still be Electron bloatware, chewing up RAM and CPU cycles for tasks a native app could have done on a potato.

It will still require a phone number, this is a nothingburger. Meanwhile, there's still no way to use Signal on an android tablet.

Use Delta Chat instead. No phone number required, completely anonymous. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.b44t.messenger Or use Arcane Chat, which is a Delta Chat client with more features: https://f-droid.org/packages/chat.delta.lite
