I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.

I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.

Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

there are decent note apps, like notally, that are smaller than 2mb 🤷

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kin.easynotes/ 3mb

https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.quillpad/ 4.6 and it can sync

and than there’s joplin

I don’t disagree, but taking notes in Signal gets you syncing automatically which is convenient and something OP asked for 🤷

And you’ll have fewer apps installed on your phone, which is something I’ve come to value lately.

Standard Notes is my go to for notes 100%. It’s all about privacy through encryption and is FOSS. Plus for this specific scenario, it also allows for notes export.
