They all have iPhones and Google Android. Since all my calls and text messages are monitored on their phones, am I causing any additional harm to myself by using Google Messages on GrapheneOS? That way I could at least use RCS messaging.

Doesn’t Google Messages require access to your contacts to even run? My experience was that it didn’t even ask permission; it just gave itself permission when I first launched it.
It did that to me also. As soon as i tapped Agree, i saw that it had more permissions enabled.
If I was installing it again, I’d try turning off network access before tapping Agree but I’m not sure if this would work.
edit On GrapheneOS you can use scopes and decide which contacts it has access to.
