Huh TIL, thanks! So would apps usually work, just like on regular android? Except the aforementioned, of course.
Most EVERYTHING works unless your app dev is PoS like these guys.
Another alternative is MicroG which might work better in light of recent development.
How zealous are you on dumping google?
Well yes and no. The point is to stop using Google. And that entails quite a few things you might expect a phone to do
You can take a look at calyxOS, it's what I use. Android but with all Google telemetry ripped out. It's not as resistant as graphene against a govt adversary, but for privacy, better battery (bc google stuff isn't constantly running) and still being able to use everything, it works great.
