Is Telegram really that bad and should i look more into it or is sticking to signal really the best option?

Seems like crypto people do not like telegram because they rolled their own crypto. Often kind of a red flag. Counter is that I am not sure there is a known issue with it beyond the standard complaints.

Not sure why you would choose Telegram over Signal. The one thing I do not like about signal is your phone number is your ID though.
