SMS only transits the telco infrastructure, it doesn't need servers in the client-servers sense, RCS does. Not only that but RCS needs them because it includes hosting for things like images and videos that are sent in messages.
I don't think Google will allow anybody to partake in "their" RCS, the least of all custom ROMS. They will make it another thing like SafetyNet, designed to maintain their own control.
