Edit: the app seems to be pretty old, I like the Writer editing more (it works) but for other things, CollaboraOffice is way better.

Has anyone tried that on a tablet? The phone UI has like no features

Currently it is a "viewer" (renderer with usable UI) and editing features are experimental.

They only release their APK to Google Play for whatever reason, but you can use F-Droid to get it

Bugs can normally be reported to their bugtracker and you can join their forum for more community support!

Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.

That is great news!

Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.

There's also collabora office which is based on LibreOffice.
https://www.collaboraoffice.com/collabora-office-android-ios/

It's released under MPLv2.

Yes Collabora Office (from their own F-Droid repo) is the alternative.

There is also an older Viewer but unofficial and purely for viewing.
