Once upon a time I would be happy to put custom ROMs on my phone and do all these patches.

These days I just care so much about "things should just work" that I cannot justify doing this. I cannot think about how I could spend time figuring out what to do when the repo is no longer maintained or something breaks for random reasons.

The value I get from either being degoogled or using GOS like I have for the last year and a half is worth the 3-5 hours time investment once a year or two when I get a new phone.

Agreed. Sandboxed Google play really is the non-tinkerer's approach on GOS, including for Android Auto.
