I think the best practical solution these days is to buy a Pixel or some Sony Xperia, and install your own AOSP. Then run a F-Droid userland. If you have a Pixel, you also have access to things like https://grapheneos.org/ https://grapheneos.org/, which is the successor to CopperheadOS, and perfect AOSP support. Sonys tend to loose some features.
A good alternative if you want a cheaper phone is to run LineageOS on a popular device in the Lineage community.
Something that is becoming a really good alternative is to run a device-independent ROM on an unlockable Treble device: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations
As you said, stock Android is pretty hopeless in terms of privacy.

Anyone here has tried it with a Xiaomi A3? Looks like most phones have partial support still. Pixel phones are out of my budget so GrapheneOS isn't an option. Stock Android has long been dead to me but I wasn't aware Android One is just as bad because most reviews focus on the UI.
