If some of your apps rely on play services, i can heavily recommend microg as replacement for it.

Do I have to install microg or graphene or whatever on my Google Pixel before that date or miss the boat?
Have been putting it off.

GrapheneOS has sandboxed play services that you can easily install to make sure apps work. my banking app only works with play store services so I installed them and set them to zero permissions. You can also make a second profile with nothing installed and switch when you need those apps. MicroG has never worked for me on any phone.
