I have been able to join my partner's family group chats at long last, to much fanfare. It's nice, because there's a lot of great people I just haven't been keeping up with since I couldn't join the chat and was not about to buy an entire phone for one chat protocol.

Only problem I've had so far is that I can't see who's specifically reacting to messages when I try to tap into it. IDK if that's in line with the traditional iMessage experience though.

Honestly it's borderline amazing that it's that smooth and uneventful.
