> This is not possible with e2e

Why not? You can encrypt a message with more than one key, no? It’s still e2e, just that there are multiple ends.

Apple’s Messages is e2e (until SMS is used) and they have group chats.

Until SMS is used OR until either side has iCloud backups turned on (which is the default setting)

Just shipping keys to someone to hold on doesn't make the encryption not-end-to-end, though it does reduce the point quite a bit.
