Or just do it like Matrix or Signal or even WhatsApp which have both E2EE and chat sync

yeah they can do sync but it's rather janky and requires both devices to be on.
there are some advantages to telegram's cloud chat system, even though it's much less secure.

They don't though. Only WhatsApp does. The other ones don't require both devices to be on.

Also it's not janky at all (with the exception of WhatsApp)
