Briar is hard to regulate because of it having no server, hence I was wondering: are they an alternative to whatever the EU is doing with general messaging apps?

It isn’t, the license you publish your code under has no relation to whether or not the regulation applies.
For example I develop a small opensource (GPL) application, for which I do paid support. Because of the paid support, it’s interpreted as a commercial activity. Without the paid support, I can’t spend time on the project.
So when that time comes I’ll have to abandon the project.
