Temporary phone number means, that you have no ownership of it & it is inherently insecure. Having a phone number is already bad enough, but not having & using a temporary one is really bad. Every following Code/PIN will be sent to a phone number literally anyone could use at that moment. So, if there's account recovery via phone number possible, which most services definitely offer, you basically offer anyone the possibility to steal your account with potentially compromising data.

To me, temporary phone numbers are absolutely useless, except you need a throwaway phone number for a lottery or some other bullshit you'll never use anyway. For a private(!) messenger I would never use a phone number. Let alone a temporary one, anyone can have access to, at some point.
