I'd get a 2nd phone for that and it never leaves the house/location - living inside a bag with conductive material

Yes, GOS has excellent compatibility with Google. The play services are sandboxed like a normal app and work great.

Hmm, you should have cheaper and separate phone for work anyway?

Yes. GrapheneOS maintains 99% app compatibility, and the 1% that is lacking is due to apps using incredibly misguided and nonsensical "antiabuse" mechanisms.
GrapheneOS is often better for testing apps due to it being trivial to test with and without google services, most of the hardening options can be used for debugging and provide a crash log to determine what failed, and there is an easily accessible log viewer available in app info.
