WiFi and Bluetooth not working would be a feature for me. I travel a lot and all my phones inevitably get hacked, usually via bluetooth and surreptious network updates.

In that case, give postmarketOS a go on your device. You get the benefits of packages that actually receive security updates and an up-to-date mainline kernel at the cost of hardware support being very unlikely.
