Made the jump last week.
The only thing I miss is Android Pay, but it's not a big deal. Cards are fine, you'll just need to remember your wallet.
I did find I had a problem with my work 2FA app, but that's their problem to solve, not mine. Maybe they'll give me a 2FA USB key.
A few pieces of advice:
Nice link to the GCAM app fork, brings back some features that I missed out on with the normal app.
Yeah it's nice to have PhotoSphere back!
I unfortunately use play services on both my main profile and gaming profile (I had to make a seperate non Premission Manager X profile to be able to play games), but if you're smart like Veronica in her GrapheneOS video, you can do a degoogled profile and a sandboxed profile!
If I could convince my family to contact me through Signal/Molly rather than Google Messages, maybe I could go completely degoogled on one profile. But alas.
I feel like the tap pay would be what I miss most, but I saw someone suggest just getting a case that can hold your payment card, and it's essentially the same thing.
Be careful with having your card exposed; there exists a scam where someone puts a chip reader waist level in certain places, like a crowded line, where it'll skim off a few dollars off anyone who gets close enough. The rfid blocking cards work well (just do a bit of research, lots of sham ones out there), it also looks like there's some options for rid blocking phone wallets too.
Yep, though losing your wallet and phone at the same time would be rough.
