i've found this one of the most frustrating features in signal where you cannot really export your message history, and every time you need to re-link your computer (which expires after 30 days of non-use or so) it will start with an empty one

i do understand it from a privacy point of view but still

fwiw, matrix does provide message history for E2EE rooms even with new devices

As long as you never let the ratchet state be exported from the main client, you should be fine.

But that blocks people from using multiple DM clients, which is a core motivation behind Nostr. You are blocking users into your client and locking them out of others. Same data silos Twitter and Facebook gave today.
