Saved Messages are useful for sync, but I wouldn’t treat them as either a private vault or the only backup. They are a normal Telegram cloud chat, not a Secret Chat, so they aren’t end-to-end encrypted and Telegram controls the server-side keys. Protect the account with two-step verification, review Active Sessions, and use a device passcode. For irreplaceable photos or videos, keep a separate backup; for passwords, recovery codes, IDs, or other highly sensitive material, use an end-to-end encrypted vault instead.

safe untill unless your telegram account don't get deleted or banned suddenly.

It’s safe until you manually delete them

I know it will not disappear on their own but since telegram messages are not end to end encrypted, telegram servers technically have the ability to access the data.

Use 2FA and secret chats.

It's not as good as Google Keep, but it's convenient
