I use CopperheadOS on my Nexus 5X and I am extremely happy with it. My job is android development and I have some personal paid apps on Google play and one Foss app on F-Droid. Access clipboard in the background and record audio in the background have been lately added to the security features available on CopperheadOS, and I can't imagine now using my phone without COS hardened implementation. I use FDroid for all the apps I need and yalp for a couple of other apps not available on FDroid. The majority of apps now depends on Google play services and that is flattering and disappointing: all those GPS APIs are very appealing to developers and teams because makes things easier and all but IMHO using all those services is contributing to data mining and I don't think it is fair.
