Sure - for me (and likely >99.9% of people), from what I have read, it is clearly not ready. I’m a heavy phone user in most respects. For me it would have to start as a hobby project.
What I have encountered is the requirements for it being a daily driver are user specific. I have seen a fair amount of users say "I need $FOO app to work", where $FOO is some an app only developed for Android/iOS (a common one is a banking app, there is almost no way that company will support a Linux phone). So I guess I would ask what your requirements are before I can say if it is daily driver ready or not.
My threshold for it being a "daily driver" is if I can fully replace the "phone" features of my Android phone, which for me, is: Calling, SMS, MMS, Voicemails. MMS is not yet UI functional, but will be sooner than later.
The good news is I am seeing the Linux Phone movement be a positive feedback loop: the more features add, the more users, and the more folks helping to add features.
