does eos have well known pitfalls in this regard?

No AVB yellow state on most devices (bootloader relock with custom keys), MicroG (while actually a cool project) Isn't a fully functional implementation (no Chromecast if you enjoy self harm, no U2F, FIDO authentication, etc.), you also can't use safetynet (for banking apps) with unlocked bootloader

i use my browser for banking apps and i stopped using chromecast a decade or so ago.

This is actually incorrect, on almost all devices that Murena sells the bootloader is locked. I think you are confusing their official builds with their community/volunteer builds

Wow, so it's actually somewhat decent. If I had money to actually choose a phone, I would still prefer GOS.

Gos only subdues to Google phones, this is actually it's own project
