In Android 13, there are two different battery optimization steps, are you sure, signal is unoptimzied?
I have had no issues at all. Even now without Google GMS, I receive them within 20 seconds.
Edit:
You can also bulk delete pictures fairly easy within Signal in the settings. Imho its the videos though, that take away the most memory.
Battery optimization in Android 13 is such dogshit. They should have had it as its own setting category to give users full control over which apps we want optimized.
Instead, they just optimize everything and put apps to sleep if you need them infrequently, all so they can brag about the battery life of their devices.
I’m always one step from going full third-party OS.
With root, it is not hard at all. You just net the “fix safetynet check” module for magisk. After that you’ll need to hide root within magisk:
Hide magisk + Zygisk + enforce denylist.
Some of the Apps might still detect the Magisk App somehow but for that, I recommend you “Hail” from Fdroid. It freezes / deactivates the apps you want and thaws them, whenever needed. In the frozen state, magisk won’t be detected, as it seems uninstalled to other apps.
Hail is also incredibly nice for apps that drain your battery on idle.
It is even possible to use GPay without any problems, though it is a bit tricky to set up for it to work. But there’s tutorials for that as well.

Sounds like you want usability over privacy. Maybe look for another app that suits your purpose.
