The best choices for no bloat and timely updates are Android One, Nokia and Sony devices. They have guaranteed updates for at least two years and actually provide timely security patches (so that in October you have October's security patch level instead of something from x months ago).

LineageOS is not a replacement for security updates from the manufacturer because they can't patch vulnerabilities in proprietary drivers. Custom ROM's are also often riddled with issues that you may or may not have the patience to deal with, and Safetynet attestation means that you may have trouble using some apps on a modified device.

Does LineageOS have working OTA updates? Last I looked, I got the impression that it was a reinstall & restore affair to get security patches in.
