If you use the Molly fork with UnifiedPush support and set up a tiny mollysocket instance on a VPS or always-on server (no need for exposed ports), this problem can be patched. You can use the Conversations XMPP client or ntfy to redirect UnifiedPush notifications into Molly, and it won't need to use Signal's normal costly notification scheme. I have no idea why Signal has not implemented UnifiedPush support directly yet; it's a very active pain point for most users: one, two, three.

I'd also be curious how it scales as you add more contacts. I don't think Signal does presence monitoring, does it?
