    I have separate profiles:

    • main user has no Google Play services or Gapps: just F-Droid apps and a couple of play store apps I use daily (anonymously via Aurora Store app)
    • Aurora profile has other playstore apps that will run without Google Play Services
    • PlayStore profile is for anything that requires full Google Play Services (banking, purchased apps)
    • Work profile is full-on Google everyting (Google school)
    • Location is on, but only shared with Organic Maps, FindMyDevice (FMD) and Transit.app
    • USB port is power-only (no data).

    Some compromises I’ve made:

    • I have fingerprint unlock enabled (but not on my password vault or PlayStore/Banking profile)
    • I tap-to-pay with a Garmin watch ( you only need the Garmin app to set-up the credit card, then it can be deleted )

    But… I think starting-out, don’t worry about it. If you load all the same apps as on your old phone, into a single main profile, it’ll still be a huge improvement.
