If the aim is to get away from Google, it is probably best to run something more Android-like, such as LineageOS or GrapheneOS. Stick to well supported hardware and it will just work. PostmarketOS is more like a generic embedded system.

How is that "getting away from google" if they're both based on Android, which is a Google-developed operating system?
Yeah, but they don't include proprietary Google apps such as Google Play services and all the crap that depends on it. Only open source stuff.

AIUI, 'Nice to have' in this case is in relation to 'technical feasibility' rather than actual useability. Cameras and modems are two notoriously closed down parts of modern smartphones, and thus it follows they are the most difficult if not downright impossible to support properly.
The link above mentions Bluetooth and Camera as “nice to haves”. I would love to get away from google but half the point in a phone is the camera.
