The partnership between Braxman and iodeOS is concerning for sure. It does not make the project appear trustworthy at all.
But I feel you are mixing iodeOS and /e/OS which is not good practice.
Lets stay with /e/OS for a while as it is more obviously a degrated LineageOS.
Breaking source code licenses is really bad and fits into the image of /e/OS. But again, the stretch to iodeOS is not founded.
I know of DivestOS and it was a very good project. Basing off LineageOSes tooling is not bad, being their downstream is more problematic.
I thought of installing #DivestOS on my old Pixel, but even then GrapheneOS was newer.
Afaik iodeOS has improvements over LineageOS.
