Will Huawei still have access to TSMC, Samsung fabs etc? I think Hardware should be more of an issue for them than software. Chinese phones already use some alternative to play store iirc.

It appears they're only losing access to American hardware and software. So that would mean Android, Gorilla Glass screens, Qualcomm processors, etc.

This could actually be a boon for China. Now they have to start developing their phones completely in-house. On the longer term that could be the end for American tech.
If one thing the last 50 years has taught us is that whatever the US can do an Asian competitor can do as well.

Generalized, I think it's safe to assume any developed country willing to invest in manufacturing is capable of doing what any other country can do [in manufacturing] as well.
That’s entirety the point of their Made In China 2025 initiative
Minor correction: It doesn't mean "Android", it means Google services.

Well they already have their own processors so I imagine that won't be a huge loss.
What about the ARM license? Sure they design their own processors but that doesn't help if ARM doesn't let them use the instruction set.
Arm Holdings is a British company and United Kingdom' relations with Huawei is complicated matter.
