I am bridging WhatsApp to my Matrix server. On Matrix it shows the username when the number is not in your contact list, and only then did I notice how unnecessary access to the contact list actually is (as long as you don't start new chats with people)

Sorry for the late reply, I use https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp as bridge for my Matrix server. You need your own server to install this bridge. The easiest way to do all this is with https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, which takes care of many things
