I’m super into the idea of Beeper, but at the end of the day to get that level of interoperability you are trusting a third party with your login credentials to some very sensitive services that may also be tied to your financials (ie Apple ID). They state that it’s only saved once, and then encrypted so that they no longer have access, but still it’s a risk.

So far I’m not convinced it’s worth the trade off even though I really want it to be. Curious what others think?

I don't use it with iMessage, but I bridged WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook. It works quite well, but I uninstalled it after maybe 2 weeks. There are too many features (understandably) missing, like surveys in WhatsApp, these bot chat buttons in Telegram and calls in general. And having the original apps and beeper installed defeats the purpose for me personally.

I had to wait maybe 3 weeks after signing up.

I like the idea of it, but if I ever go down that route I'll probably look into self hosting the system.
