Absolutely, there are some really good ways to mitigate the data flow even if you can't stop it entirely. The OS is a big deal, but I think the most fundamental change to make is the apps and services you use.
You've probably already done that to a degree, but see if there are more changes you can make.
Alternativeto is an excellent way to explore your options, but also the techlore and the new oil youtube channels are fantastic resources for limiting privacy leaks.
I'll post a few debloater apps that I've run across when I get home too, I haven't used them but I know there are options for removing some of the tracking elements of stock android.
