This is what I've been doing for a few years now. Some apps require Google Play Services (Revolut?), some show a warning that can be ignored and run fine afterwards (Authy, Signal), some have limited functionality like no notifications (Slack), but many work just fine (Firefox, Spotify, and even Messenger Lite)

Microg has forked LOS and packaged it preconfigured https://lineage.microg.org/

Useful if you want play services and store function without Google. But I know it has it's own security concerns so not clearly "better" overall.
