The Google Play services question is answered here: https://ntfy.sh/docs/faq/#why-is-firebase-used

And yes, you need to disable battery optimization if you don't want to use Firebase. On my phone it uses 1% battery in a full day (17h).

Even if you disable battery optimization it's going to depend on your phone if it will actually honor it (and not kill the app). This site: https://dontkillmyapp.com/ shows which phones behave correctly.

And if you change the settings that will make your phone behave nicely it often severely impacts battery life ;/

We've done some battery work a couple of months ago and since then I've not really had any complaints from the thousands of users, so I think overall it's working.

Every now and then there is some oddball phone that keeps killing connections and such, but it's very very rare. I think we've optimized it to the best of what's possible at the moment.
