But do you really need update from Google if you're planning on installing a custom rom ? Genuine question, I thought your security updates would be handled by /e/ or graphene or whatever you choose
Not necessarily, they'll get some OS updates after google pulls the plug, but they'll stop getting firmware and other hardware-specific updates.
Per GrapheneOS:

This is the important bit. Talking about updates on OS level is kind of confusing and hiding the fact that it's the chipset going EOL in old devices and not the system.
Firmware gets obsolete, not software, is closer to the right idea.
