Blocking tor exit nodes is considerably easier than an arbitrary proxy server. Tor provides a list, in fact.

No, it's the opposite—if Signal wants exit nodes, they obviously won't block them. It's the entry nodes that need to be blocked. Some are easy to find, but others require you to send an email from a unique email address from a trusted provider to get lists of IPs.

Using onion services doesn't use exit nodes, that's only for exiting to the public internet.
