The turd is in google play services not AOSP so its not upstream of Lineage or Graphene. Graphene should actually be safe because it provides an alternative to google play services. Lineage doesn’t but the user isn’t required to install google play services. Lineage users might even be able to install Graphene’s alternative (MicroG iirc) instead.
Graphene OS doesn’t use an alternative to Google services. It’s the OG Google services they use. The only difference is on graphene, it’s installed as a user app, not a privileged app.

Graphene uses Play services, albeit sandboxed. I don’t think MicroG is recommended by them. But maybe I misunderstood your comment.
