Much of your data can just be subpoenaed and then provided to law enforcement without physical access however. Apple complies 90% of the time.

GrapheneOS, based on AOSP, is really the only truly private and secure option. Android offering interoperability is not a downside and Apple having a walled garden does not mean it provides increased security. Apple is decidedly not transparent and this is ultimately not a good thing.
I’ve been using GrapheneOS for about 5 years.
Google pay won’t work, but everything else should. I’ve never experienced any of the issues the other commenter had, and I’ve installed Graphene on 4 devices (not dismissing you BTW, just saying I think your experience is quite uncommon).
I don’t think third-party launchers are a good idea (you’re giving full device permission to an unneeded app) but it should work.
Almost every app I wanted to use worked with Graphene before they introduced their sandboxed google services, and now everything I’ve tested works with Google push notifications. The only exception is Google pay, and there are upstream reasons for that. Keep in mind, on a very rare occasion the hardened memory allocator breaks compatibility (again this is very rare), but there is an app-specific setting toggle to turn this off so it’s kind of a non-issue.
A large part of the reason that corn is so cheap to grow in the US is because of agricultural subsidies. By and large these subsidies get handed out to agricultural mega corporations. What this ends up meaning is that a very small percentage of food crops actually get subsidized.
