I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

No it’s not. Not because of that it’s too difficult but it’s too much work on a weekly basis just to update your stuff.
I have no rooted phone because I have grapheneos but it should be possible to do it directly on your rooted phone with shizuku et al which wouldn’t be that bad.
How’s graphene been serving you? I’ve wanted to take the plunge for a while now and this no side loading bs has me looking into it again
Gos is good. It is a solid os. I like it a lot. I have a lot of freedom that I don’t have on other phones. But it is also just android. other brands like samsung added a lot of goodies to their os. It is a phone, it works, it’s alright. It took me a while to understand that graphene’s exploit protection slows down apps. I disable that for all important apps like osmand where speed is crucial. Osmand is still slower than on an iphone 6. Do I have to use it security wise? No, but I like supporting it. Will my next phone have gos as well? Yes. It has no annoyance on it. There is no unwanted app or anything. That’s amazing.
Can just confirm the other comment
GrapheneOS is serving me very well
No problems (currently) with banking apps either
I’m very happy with it - although a real Linux phone would be really cool
