I have to use Whatsapp, unfortunately. Are there any good alternatives to the default app on Android?

I'm worried about all the data it shares with Meta. I denied all permissions but this makes it less convenient, and the app probably still sends over the data that available without them.

I've seen WA mods (basically rebuilt .apk files), but I don't know much about them, and therefore they seem shady.

Ah. I guess you might remove some metrics or some such that way, but that's not a very transparent way to achieve that unless you dig in personally.
