I think Graphene gets posted here yearly. Having tested a variety of ROMs dedicated to different elements of security, I can attest that Graphene allows the most "normal" phone usage compared to many others. The biggest factor is the sandboxed Google Play Services, which allow you to use a lot of apps that you wouldn't be able to otherwise.

I've used Lineage without MicroG, as a comparison, and that's becoming more-and-more unusable every day some lousy Android developer tethers their company's app to some feature exclusive to Play Services.

unfortunately it doesn't support google pay, which is a dealbreaker for me

		Google Pay is not available on any alternative OS due to Google blocking it. It's unfortunately their choice, rather than a lack of support on our end. Depending on where you are in the world, there might be other NFC payment options for you. In the EEA and UK, Curve pay works. Paypal made their own solution and is rolling it out, starting with Germany. Both work with GrapheneOS. Many banks also have their own solutions.
