alt Hacker News/e/ OS with Fairphone is the good choice for that. Don't listen to cromka, /e/ OS is now fully open as the only proprietary app was the map one and they just replaced it. So, 100% free software. It is less secure than Graphene but also leaks less data to advertising companies.

That's debatable. /e/OS is mostly made of AOSP, which is made by Google.

Most definitely, yes

This is wrong. If you don't use microg on /e/OS or Play Services on GrapheneOS, then it's equivalent. If you use microg, it still contacts the Google servers even though it is an open source reverse-engineered implementation of Play Services. The added privacy there is to go through a proxy, which GrapheneOS offers.
I actually like it better to run sandboxed Play Services through the GrapheneOS proxy, because in my experience it works a lot better than microg.
Really, the only reason to use LineageOS or /e/OS (which are interesting project, really) is that you cannot run GrapheneOS on your phone. If you have the possibility to use GrapheneOS, there is no good reason not to do it.
