Only thing I've noticed is quite a delay in notifications for some reason (could be self inflicted), haven't looked into it yet
Most apps typically use Google services for notifications, so all apps use one single service running all the time.
Without Google, apps can develop a fallback where each app polls for its own notifications, but continously running a service per app costs battery, so the services do not run all the time. This is the reason why notifications are delayed.
One reason can be if the involved apps don't have unrestricted battery access. Then the OS will put the app to "sleep" when not used. Could be worth checking.
