Honestly modern Motos are as close to the stock A. as you can get. Not really sure about E4, flashed it to LOS pretty soon, but g8 and, now, g30 has a minimal Moto integrations and some are actually useful, eg on g30 I finally adopted MotoActions (flash by chop-chop and camera by uugh doggo shake? lol) despite ignoring them for years, since XT720/RAZR.
With g30 I even left the default launcher, it is good enough that I didn't bother.
Android One = nearly the same stock Android you'd get on a Pixel, no (non-Google) bloatware, no custom UI.
It was never quite popular, but if you scroll through the Wikipedia list of devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One), you'll see it's pretty much only Nokia nowadays.
Some Motorola models as well, but I couldn't find those specific models back when they were still new and I was looking for a phone.
