If you need help getting apps working, please ask on https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ or #grapheneos:grapheneos.org on Matrix. We'll be happy to help you get them working and if they aren't working we'll fix the remaining rare compatibility issues. Nearly every application works on GrapheneOS if you install the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer and make use of the per-app exploit protection compatibility toggle for apps with memory corruption bugs. The compatibility mode doesn't reduce OS security, it just disables certain features protecting the app itself against attackers. We may eventually maintain a list of apps requiring the compatibility mode to do this for major apps like Among Us automatically. Also, note some apps require dependencies like Google Play Games which aren't installed for you automatically.
