Unfortunately the fact that NFC can't be used on anything that's rooted anymore is kind of a deal breaker. If I could use google pay and my normal banking apps with GrapheneOS I would switch to it today.
not being able to use contactless pay does not equal "NFC can't be used on anything".
Technically you're correct, but it's effectively the same thing since I've literally never used NFC for anything besides contactless payment and initial phone setup when migrating from an older Android phone to a newer one. For most people NFC is synonymous with contactless payment.
If you get a pixel watch you can pair it and use that for Google Pay FYI and have Graphene OS on your phone.
