I used Signal for years and loved it, but I need SMS support to talk to, well, anyone I know. Is there a secure choice that's near-equal?

Your preinstalled SMS app is usually the best way to receive SMS, I wouldn't give and unnecessary app permissions to access them!

But it's not E2E encrypted

That's because SMS isn't end to end encrypted in general, you need a encryption client on both sides to achive E2E encryprion aka Singal to Signal or something comparable.
