Not according to graphene documentation. From what I remember it's because Obtaniuam can't check the signature of the APK. There is app verifier (recommended by obtanium) but it dosnt work with many apps as they don't publish the signature. So you can't verify the APK is what its supposed to be.
FDroid builds the app and signs it. While this may intorduce risk of Fdrpid are doing something dodgey the many eyes and build logs should pick it up.
You are correct, Obtanium has no automated signing process and App Verifier verified like one time for me.
Aurora Store used to not have it either but now it does so it's a pretty easy recommend for me if you're trying to ditch Play Store completely.
Graphene devs tend to recommend Play Store over F-Droid because Google does typically have A-1 security and that is their top priority. But not very good vetting apps as I mentioned, and tleven non malware has tons of trackers so I avoid Google's repository if possible. Also many people on GrapheneOS obviously prefer to not have Play Services...
