Building from source is the opposite of hacky. It's the recommended way to deal with things like this where you are concerned about trust and security. I understand that it's not something you've done before, but it not as complicated as it sounds. There are many tutorials on how to build programs from source.
I understand that providing official packages for fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distro packages along with a flatpack and Appimage would make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, signal has decided not to. Perhaps you can message the signal team to ask why they choose not to do this.
What you describe seems to be what the user manual describes. OP did state "I have noautoindent set, nosmartindent set, filetype indent off" I have a hunch that they, comming from vim, used a .vim config file and didn't realize it wasn't loading because a .lua config file was already present in the folder. But this is just speculation.
