You won't get much privacy from a dumbphone.

I had the Punkt. and sold it. Things might be better now, but Signal had delays...up to 2 hours sometimes to receive a message.

KaiOS probably shares data (no proof or sources for this, just guessing). That is a large chunk of the available phones, depending on where you live.
