I would personally much rather have my text messages and VoIP phone calls encrypted (usually iMessage and FaceTime audio, but Signal and WhatsApp are popular with Android users), which AFAIK is only available on smartphones, than split out calling and texting from a primary phone.

I’ve also heard that Apple doesn’t allow the baseband direct access to the application processor’s memory, but I don’t know how true that is. There doesn’t seem to be much thought given to this on Android phones.
