As someone who currently uses Pulse SMS+ and has been looking for alternatives like Google Messaging, are there any major issues I should be aware of?

I liked Pulse since I could send messages from a desktop app, but I can't install it on my work computer any longer.

I also liked the WearOS app from Pulse, but they discontinued it.

I moved to Google Messages when Signal dropped SMS support and it's been fine. Most people I know who aren't on Signal or WhatsApp are on iPhones, but there are a decent number who apparently have RCS so -- perversely -- Signal dropping SMS support had actually resulted in a net increase in my secure messaging.

That is why signal dropped support for it.theybssid it was to increase security because users could accidentally be using signal sending regular SMS. The way you got lore secure is not how they advertised the removal, but makes sense that happens in some cases. Same thing happened to me.
