A family member is moving out of country and convinced the best way to keep in touch is with WhatsApp. I really don't want to install any Meta shit on my phone.

Any recommendation for a FOSS or other alternative from a company that's less of an ethical dumpster fire?

Telegram's MTProto has, to my knowledge, never undergone any security audits. It's a roll-your-own-encryption, which is always dubious when you're unwilling to have it audited. I would never suggest Telegram, even for cleartext communications.
