This is akin to saying that an Android phone is not a candidate for a daily driver as long as all the Android mods on XDA are not of a sufficient base quality.
An open phone will inevitably have incomplete distributions for it: that's the entire goal of an open phone.
The problem is if there is not a single option that covers the basics well, or if that option is non-obvious (i.e. you don't know which is it).
I've personally used Meizu MX4 with Ubuntu for years as a daily driver, but I was happy to give up on Android apps. That was slightly more powerful hardware but also 5-8 years ago.
