It's not going to help a casual user but I solved the problem by putting the Signal backup in a Syncthing shared folder. It's been a workable solution at least 2 phone swaps now

It tries to keep 2 copies and so uses 2x the space on your phone. If you're sending a lot of images and video, then it becomes impractical quickly.
