Comment on Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.

Interesting. If I just don’t use any apps from the play store and only use stuff from fdroid with no play services I should see no issues though yeah?

There’s always a chance any app, even from fdroid, will require play services, but that’s still highly unlikely. You should be fine with fdroid alone, yes.

  can confirm, I’m running GrapheneOS right now with F-Droid and some extra repos as my only app store, it works fine for me. but I don’t use banking apps (web browsers do fine for that), and I’m using a de-Firebase-d version of Signal (Molly F-Droid) so no issues so far with no GMS and no SafetyNet.

Long as you beware that F droid apps could be malware or some other kind of bad actors. It’s a free range marketplace just be smart. Just because something is FOSS or open source doesn’t mean it’s free of bad stuff.
