Matrix was developed by an Israeli company so hard pass on that. Signal looks like the best we got. https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

What exactly is your concern? It's a decentralized service, so it's not as if any of your data has to be controlled by them to use it

I can only understand the concern if it related to how many the chat room and users are mostly created in offical Matrix instance instead more be self-hosted and even that is a reach

Onion is also decentralized, and everyone knows it's monitored by the alphabet agencies. So yeah, I'd consider a hidden encryption vulnerability a solid possibility.
