I have no desire to stay on Google, but also have a lot of use cases to migrate before I can cut loose. Shared calendars, email accounts (should be able to sync with FairEmail as I work on migrating accounts), maps (OSM address search never works for me), Fi carrier, maybe others. Was the LineageOS transition a big change? How often do you need to troubleshoot for app installation, carrier configuration, etc?
I have many of the same issues, and was able to work through it. Their /e/OS comes bundled with microG, and Google Services replacement. Because of this, I was able to install:
Google Calendar Gmail Google Maps Google Fi (Fi is my carrier, but I'm looking for a new one)
Installing apps was as simple as downloading the relevant Google app from the "App Lounge", which is a Play Store equivalent. The only Google thing I couldn't do was enable my Google Calendar for my work account, because they require a YubiKey, and there's something there blocking it, but they claim to be working on it for the next major release of microG.
There was a bit of fear when I set it up that I wouldn't be able to set up Fi, the first login attempt to my google account failed, but the second one passed perfectly fine.
