The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

In theory,yes.

I won't buy it as my whole charging environment is wireless these days and the FP5 has no wireless charging.

Rolling back of course would be possible but annoying, especially for phone I would use for 5 years possibly.

It won't be as good as native hardware support, but you can buy a device to add wireless charging. It plugs into the phone USB-C and has a short flexible cable leading into a thin (1 mm maybe) wireless charger receiver that can fit inside a phone case

Yeah, had one of these for previous phones,but most don't fit properly with cases and if you need to properly charge the phone you are always fiddling around. Was not really satisfied with them.
