While my currently favored approach is GOS', I'd really like to know more. Did anything else change? I'm 15 years out of date. In my mind:

* root is still frowned upon

* microG is frowned upon

* bypassing SafetyNet (sorry, Play Integrity) is frowned upon

* bootloader relocking is not oficially nor semi-officially supported

* missing patches (Google's 6 month source embargo) were not talked about

That sounds more like an OEM problem.

If the ROM is not expecting to be relocked, it's a ROM problem as well.
