Have you tried /e/OS?
I was in the same boat as you were and got started couple years ago with the Pinephone. Tried multiple OS's, loved the experience / freedom but at the end of the day, wasnt satisfied with any of the OS's since there was something usually broken.
Found /e/OS one night and everything that i typically do to harden the phone (degoogle the phone, alternative DNS, alternative app store, etc) is built into the phone. Supports a wide amount of devices with A11 / A12 builds coming out soon. The built-in tracker blocker is awesome to have. Uses MicroG instead of Google Play Services. Most apps works, but some are broken because of this

- jqpabc123 3y agoI have converted most of my family to /e/OS running on cheap Motorola phones (5G Ace). The main software issue has been banking apps overly focused on security. Solution: Just use the web site. The only exclusive the installed app provides is paper check deposit --- and who uses paper checks anymore? Lots of people don't know that an icon can easily be created to launch a web site just like an app. Most users won't notice the difference.
- vanous 3y agoBanks started requiring second factor via app here. Thus, browser banking always requires phone now. I am sure one can opt out, but you start loosing features...
