you're still traceable because every phone CPU is directly associated with it's IMEI. Although that's probably not an issue for you since you're planning on using banking apps anyway.
But is that a problem for the threat model of banking as your bank logs everything you're doing and will gladly share that with the government anyway. My question is is there any other possible data they could gather besides the VPN server's IP address and what I'm doing with my bank?
You can change IMEI at will. IMEI doesn't do shit.
