It doesn't matter if you don't do iCloud backups. All of your iMessages will be backed up to Apple in ways that Apple/FBI can read because iCloud Backup (not e2e) is on on every device held by the people you are iMessaging with.

Depending on how cheap your friends are, they might not have effective backups because they wont spend money for the iCloud space to have enough space for their backups in the first place.
