  • Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap

Yeah, anything paid is going to be a problem. Or anything with in-app purchases. You could try setting up a work profile with G services and those remaining apps. That's what I do.

I use microG and it supports in-app purchases well enough. I don't know if you can buy things in Aurora Store, but I do know that you're able to download apps you've previously bought on the play store before.
