I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification. They simple send a dummy push, and the signal app wakes up to retrive the latest message directly from signal server.
So Google never have your notification content. I am not sure if they do the same on iOS.
That being said if your attack model includes people reading your notification lock screen, then you should disable showing signal notification.
I don’t think it is terribly expensive, a lot of (somewhat large) domain specific academic instances are maintained by grad students with donation from academics. As far as I know, many of them are in good financial standing.

I want to add China’s healthcare is still reasonably affordable for many people living and working in cities.
No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.
But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (although almost everyone is) (2) health care is not close to free for most people.
