How is degoogled Android?

I have a spare phone I could try to degoogle but I keep thinking how many apps require GSF and I don't think I'd get very far like that.

It feels fine, if you don't use google apps you wouldn't notice a difference. But the last time I seriously tried using it as a daily driver was probably three years ago though. MicroG is ok but just can't compare to the sandboxed gapps in graphene when it comes to compatibility.
