The hardware is good and I like the idea in principle but Fairphone's support and software QA is dreadful and you need to hope you never need the former because of problems with the latter. My FP5 was bricked by an update they pushed out and after six weeks of trying to get a solution from their support (four weeks of which they didn't respond at all) I ended up claiming on insurance and buying a Pixel. According to the forums this problem is far from unique to me.
Get on LineageOS.
Did this using iodéOS which is a LineageOS distro with more degoogling and os level adblock and filtering build in. Works very well and has been stable for about the 4 heads that its running on my FP4.
No clue. But its large project. I've been using it since of was CyanoGenMod.
