Yea, among other things, I’m not going through the process of migration just to prove a point. Too much work for uncertain returns, and on top of that I’ll end up hating my phone. Why’d I do that?
I run Calyx and everything works for me except for Google pay. Google’s device validation is required for that, and since Google can’t separate the spying from security it’s a no go.
My bank and Google maps works even. In fact you can download any app from Google Play itself via Aurora store.
In most cases, yes. Otherwise you can try yourbank.com from a mobile browser
Can I use it for navigation?
Yes, with OsmAnd from f-droid. However, it does not have many addresses so if you search (business name) and a nearby one doesnt show up then get the address from the web and enter it into https://gps-coordinates.net and use the first 7 numbers. Example “xx.xxxxx -xx.xxxxx” and that will do it for sure

I’m running a Google Pixel + a popular open source android ROM. No Google.
When will I change my phone? When my Pixel dies and I buy another pixel to install an open source android ROM without Google.
Is it even usable my dude? The phone oses all seem like “Linux desktop” maturity of 2 decades ago.

Well that sounds awful.
A bit annoying sure, but not terrible. I add things to OSM after i use them the first time to help myself and others in the future.
