Still, repairability is right up there with privacy for me, so I’m quite happy with the hardware right now

That’s fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it’s been a headache because Google doesn’t make it easy.

You are correct, Graphene only runs on Pixel phones. I know there’s a few open mobile OS options out there but I’ve not spent any time researching them. There is a very good chance if you absolutely need an identification, then you can’t get away from Android. Hopefully someone else sees your comment and has an answer.
