Not sure, it seems relyable like SMS and has the same security, but just like SMS there are better options available. And most people don't use IRC or SMS and use WhatsApp or Signal instead, because they have more and better features and security.
Signal became a nonstarter for me when it turned out the person running the project is actively hostile to third party clients and bullied one out of existence.
That and, at least historically, it was pretty heavily wedded to mobile phones in a way that disqualifies it for anything I want to have long conversations with.
