Same for me. First thing i did after buying a pixel was install GrapheneOS. However i felt like it was to locked down in the name of security so i switched to rooted lineageOS
I don’t run google services but afaik there is just an extra zip called “gapps.zip” that you flash after lineage itself
My problem was a lack of freedom: i couldn’t change some settings that i wanted and also i couldn’t give gadget bridge the necessary permissions to function properly. I need gadget bridge for my pine time smart watch
Are you running the version of Lineage with GMS installed, perchance? Lineage doesn’t bundle GMS by default which makes it somewhat painful to get things working (especially since SafetyNet is deprecated, that was the last technology I had read about a while back).
Currently im not using any google services except vanced microg i currently plan on using the proper microg to get google play working. Afaik there is a “LineageOS for MicroG” but not sure wether that’s official or even up to date.

Could you explain what you didn’t like about Graphene in detail?
Do you run Google services on Lineage? The last time I read about it, it was a massive pain with LSPosed and a bunch of modules.

I use gadgetbridge on grapheneos with my pinetime. You need to enable restricted settings for gadgetbridge which is annoying but then it works.

Thanks for the input on Graphene

Also “you can’t just say perchance!”
My apologies, I should go back to school with a better teacher
