You could check out the /e/ foundation. They make an android distro that's completely degoogled and use f-droid for apps. It also has a small cloud ecosystem around it based on nextcloud. If you really need an app that's on the app store it has a version of the aurora store that lets you install apps from the play store without using the play store.
If you want something super secure I'd reccomend a pixel phone with graphine OS or if you really want to get serious and don't mind very early technology you could get a librem 5 or a pinephone which have hardware switches and a fully independent operating system from google's android and apple's iOS.
Like last time, using the Apps store results in traffic to/from “cleanapk.org.” We still don’t know who operates this domain.
There is now a website at info.cleanapk.org. It states: “Cleanapk.org’s aim is to provide a clean, generic and up to date repository of free Android applications (open source and not open source) that are official packages from publishers. We do our best effort to provide pristine, unmodified Android applications packages (APKs).”

i agree with your grapheneos recommendation, however given their history i don't trust the /e/ foundation.
That's sketchy...
