I've been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so.

Right now I've replaced my gallery with Aves, my file manager with Material Files, and my voice recorder with Record You.

And that's about it. I still need a replacement for Simple Dialer and Simple SMS Messenger (Contact You doesn't support MMS and it would be really nice to have MMS support), Simple Calculator, and Simple Notes (looking specifically for an app with a dedicated widget like the one SN has).

Can anyone recommend something for the apps I'm still missing?

I can't answer in detail as I haven't used it in years. I'm sure "it just works" in the sense does it send SMS. However, if a bug crops up or a substantial change in Android happens, either breaking or limiting it...or worse, a security vulnerability is discovered, how long till it's fixed/patched?

As a rule of thumb, I don't use applications/software that sees such infrequent updates due to mostly security concerns.
