APK and play Store versions are identical. Signal runs a check for GMS/GFS and if that Check returns true uses firebase. If not it uses WebSocket. Signal-FOSS on TwinHelix removes GMS/GSF dependencies though, and Molly-UP actually integrates a way for you to use your own push Server.
Edit: Also if you use MicroG without push notifications enabled default Signal is just broken last I checked.
I have Signal and microG with push notifications. Signal still uses websocket on my device. So, I guess it would be fine without microG push.
