My job's SSO moved to provider that either required an unrooted phone or a reliable Voice auth.

For 2 years the voice authentication worked fine (they call me, I type in a number) on my regular rooted phone. Then one random morning I just stopped getting the phone calls. "Network said no".

Complete lock out, nothing I could do except go out and panic-buy an unrooted phone not running Lineage and using a modern Android version. (I tried my older unofficial lineage phones without root, and no dice.)

I opted for a good phone I could postmarket later, but gosh did it set me back almost 1/5 of my monthly salary.

This does sounds like the situation where the employer should provide you with the phone.

Indeed. Never spend your own money on work related expenses. If your job requires a phone, they need to provide one.
