Google have already pulled the Pixel-line from the AOSP device tree. I've read that their security commits to the open repo will slow significantly down. They're talking about moving to a unified OS along with CHROMEOS (Still. Again.)
AFAIK, all custom ROMs are based on AOSP. I'm not optimistic.
Yeah, no, it's not gonna be good.
But neither is Linux on phones.
Again, this is responding to the guy saying he's willing to go to dumbphones or Linux phones. If he's that desperate/aggressively ready to use sub-par solutions, degoogled Android IS an option and it will probably be more functional, despite not being good.
I'm already on a degoogled android ROM, I consider it the superior solution.
