LineageOS is a fork of Android, not some separate thing. You can set it up to have all those apps work, same as you can after you root a stock Android install.

I’m under the impression (although, no first hand experience, so grain of salt), that some apps will only run if the OS has been signed by manufacturer keys. Or something along those lines?

Yes. If your bank forces you into the duopoly, you should probably complain to your government.

Wow, thank you. I was not aware of that fact! So it really might be worth a try so I can see how far I can go with it.
