I don't think Discord gives people access to past message history when joining a group. I don't know of any limitations of Signal's group chats that would be a problem for Discord's group chat behavior.

Discord support chat history sever side searches, they even posted a blog about how to optimise ElasticSsearch clusters.

E2E encryption is useless here. Unless you setup some kind of dedicated channel for secretive group chats.

It is one of the permission settings that can be toggled for a Discord chat room.
