It should be noted that these were already being mitigated by GrapheneOS before this came out, mostly thanks to the hardware-level USB disable feature. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114081913638905015
I wouldn't use Graphene OS personally since they refuse to accept negative press or the fact there may be alternatives. It is all about Graphene OS and how Graphene OS is grand. Don't you dare criticize or use your device in a way they don't endorce. I'm not even sure they would be willing to admit if there was a serious flaw in Graphene OS.
With that being said, I think Linux and AOSP have made a lot of progress in the right direction. Just because I don't like the Graphene OS team doesn't mean that some of there techniques can't be applied outside of Graphene OS. Android and the Linux kernel have bith seen significant improvements in security.
Graphene OS will not work for everyone. It also only supports a handful devices even thought there are other devices that support bootloader relocking. Graphene has decided to instead frame everything that isn't a Pixel running Graphene as universally bad.
That's the one gripe I have with them; not only do they do that, they actively shame users for daring to root their phones.
I'm strongly considering Calyx OS for my own Pixel 9 Pro
