I have been considering this. I even came up with a name: Good Phone, Bad Phone. Your experience is instructive, thank you. Other than the additional cost, I think it has lots of upside.
I daily drive a Pixel on GrapheneOS and most of what I install is from F-Droid repos. I'm wondering if I should just de-SIM that one to make it 'Good Phone' and my 'Bad Phone' should just be a Light Phone or maybe something more featureful.

I do have a mail app on it, and it checks mail only when I tell it to (i.e. not running in the background giving me email notifications). At home, I keep the phone with the SIM in one room. I can use the SIMless phone around the house and not worry about pings.
