Magisk (the main rooting method) allows you to hide root from such apps.

Most apps I use (ie. banking) are bypassed simply by adding them to a hide-list.

The only apps that require a bit more work / expertise are apps that require integrity checks (ie. google wallet).

This doesn't match my experience. Banking apps in Germany often required screwing around with additional Magisk modules, and would often break again after an update. Just not worth the effort.

"A bit more work" but only for now... There is a loophole (spoofing the device fingerprint with the one of an old model where non-hardware attestation is still accepted) but Google is starting to ban those models and it's only a matter of time until they're all banned.
