there's matrix, which is also kind of aggravating to use, but at least the people who develop matrix clients actually care about them being good

We've tried to make Matrix work for GrapheneOS but it's honestly quite terrible and causes substantial issues.
Official server implementation has terrible performance and reliability, E2E encryption has major issues with usability / reliability and the IRC bridge isn't great.

I've hit all three. I mention Matrix because I think Matrix will improve and Signal will not.

I think it's going to improve but it's also going to get worse as the servers, clients and room versions get more fragmented. The process of upgrading room versions already seems pretty disruptive, and ends up pushing out users just like the idle kicking by the IRC bridge bot.
the context though is Signal, which is primarily a 1:1 chat client. Matrix isn't going to be nearly as bad for that, would it?

I'm not sure. I expect it to end up with more and more caveats. It really should have had painless end-to-end encryption by default with verification being the optional part.
For public channels, IRC manages to be a lot more usable and reliable which is really saying a lot.
