If one were so inclined to get back into rooting and flashing roms, which is a good solid phone model that will have support for a decent amount of time?

I got out of it years ago after unknowingly picking a phone that no devs were messing with anymore.

I'd probably go with Pixel or OnePlus but you can check this list for some more devices. And here for official LineageOS support.

If you go with Pixel, two other to consider are CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, depending on how much you care about privacy/usability. The downside is those only really support Pixel. LineageOS supports a lot more devices

Depends on the ROM you want but Google/Oneplus devices are very commonly supported and easily unlocked. OnePlus isn't up to it's current iteration on some major roms but Google pixel 7 line works with lots of the popular ones (specifically: lineage, paranoidandroid, evolutionx).

I'd choose what ROM you want check supported devices to make sure they have one modern enough for you then decide based on that.

Probably goes without saying but avoid carrier phones as they are generally harder to unlock the bootloader or sometimes impossible.

Won't this remove Google play store?

Back in the day you just had to get the GAAPs apk or something. Gosh, it's been over a decade since I was flashing roms all the time lol
