well as custom ROM user for 7 years all I can say it's I survived without gapps for years in China and I was fine, I will be fine if they won't allow me to sign in as well outside China, after all only two Google apps (with UI) left on my phone are Play store (Yalp store covers that) and Photos (well, there is no real alternative for unlimited backup but Flickr would do it and sharing through some messenger) only thing they will accomplish by locking their ecosystem it's they will have two less users when I will remove gapps from wife's phone as well
