I'm always interested in trying things like that, but I'm not that into playing some sort of "jailbreak cat and mouse" over time. If I install GrapheneOS, is it automatic after that for security updates and whatnot, or do I have to do some weird two-hands-three-fingers reboot and manually download, etc?

Yes, it's fully automated OTA updates with GrapheneOS. (running it since 9mo on my Pixel 8)

  What about banking apps ? Do they work correctly ? Do they complain that you don't have genuine phone ?

    My banking apps all work (three different german banks), but the app from my health insurance does not want to work. Relevant recent submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41215126 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41215126

Graphene OS has automatic updates, prompts you for reboots after installing them via notification.

Speaking as a Calyx user since 2020, the install experience was a bit finnicky, and it required no ongoing manual maintenance. My understanding is the web installer is pretty easy now though. One caveat: Unlocking the bootloader deletes the disk. This is a reasonable security measure, but it means you don't want to use the phone for anything important before installing Graphene.
