Not quite the answer to your question but did you consider installing e/os/ instead of graphene? I recently switched to e and it has a good tracker blocker built in and you can use it completely without any Google account. If you want apps that only work with Google you can use the preinstalled microG service to minimise your exposure. It also has a very friendly and helpful community.

Security and data protection wise is GrapheneOS very superior to e/OS/, but it has the tradeoff that it doesn't support MicroG which is less worse reimplementation of Google Play Services, while GrapheneOS only sandbox them and removes the priveleged access.
