You can do a little more if you have root access, like use XPrivacyLua to restrict the amount of data and hardware apps like your browser have access to, and AdAway to block ads globally (protects you from app telemetry that shares data with third parties). You can also run a DoT server and point your phone there to protect your DNS queries from random WiFi networks you may have to connect to, or better run a VPN server and stay connected to it. Also whenever you can, always replace the OS that comes preinstalled with LineageOS (just makes sure everything works for your phone, like the camera and LTE). With the latest LineageOS you can also restrict internet access per app and per network type, though AFWall+ still gives better control over that. For the extremely suspicious apps you can install them on the work profile for extra isolation with Island (Play Store) or Insular (F-Droid).
