What about LineageOS + MicroG? It seems sustainable to me

LineageOS does not support MicroG officially, you will not receive support from them so I don't know what your benchmark for sustainability is.

The officially stated reason (I'm paraphrasing) was because it allows for fudging the signatures of apps and services on the OS, and this breaks the security model.

But I think that in case something isn't working you would get support from MicroG, or not?

LineageOS has sadly been falling behind on device support these days, not sure what's going on there. :/

What do you mean? LineageOS currently supports 164 devices, and LineageOS 17.1 was released a few months ago with 75%[0] of devices moved over to it currently. LineageOS 18.0 is in the works as well [1].
