I don't use one but if I did want an open source one I think I'd give the fossify tools a look.
Basically they forked all the Simple mobile apps when some dodgy company bought them so I'm pretty sure all the fossify forks are safe.
I use their gallery app with no issue.
I do but not an open source one. Basically just use Google's with rcs disabled because for me the rcs messages only resulted in me getting a could not be delivered message 3 or so days later (I'm in the UK I hear it actually works elsewhere but yeah I've never sent one that actually delivered). I think it's a common thing here as I've had to disable rcs on several relatives phones because their messages didn't deliver at all and that's most of the main phone networks
To be honest though I do use Signal more than Sms but it would be silly not to have it all on a phone.
