I've been very happy with GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7, for the year that I've had it.

The only inconveniences if you may call them that have been in alerting me of things naughty apps were doing.

Actually, no. One problem I've had is that external audio input via USB has not worked for me. Anyone else figure that out?

Pixels only support digital USB-C audio output. USB-C also has a lot of compatibility issues beyond this from non-spec-compliant cables, peripherals, chargers, ports, hubs, etc. Google and Apple have a perfectly good USB-C DAC which is far higher quality than the DAC included for the analog jack on older Pixels, which are known to work well.
Android Auto is not yet supported in GrapheneOS and that's pretty much half the usage of my phone gets on a daily basis
Is that up to date? Their site describes support

Android Auto support has been added recently and it seems to work well.
Check different cables. I bought a cheap one, didn't work. I bought a Google one it worked. But it broke soon. I bought another different brand and it works great.
