Is there any solution out there for Android to have the phone in silence, unless there is a call or message from specific contacts (whitelisting notifications for Android)?

You can set Android to still ring for starred contacts.

A true TIL!

Will this also work with messaging apps (e.g. Whatsapp) or only on the phone/sms app?

yes, it works for whatsapp; note that it does bypass Do Not Disturb, but won't make any noises if you've turned the phone to silent or vibrate.
