LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
Is anyone here daily-driving microg and can share their experiences? https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status does not exactly inspire confidence.

A closer look at e/OS: Murena's privacy-first 'deGoogled' Android alternative
microG itself connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...
No shit, of course they do.
>In general, we obviously try to minimize the connections to Google, but some services strictly rely on them and would just not work without.
What exactly do you think they should do instead?

Yes, the Xposed module is one way. There are also other ways

Magic Earth: OSM based map and routing with croud sourced traffic data
Google Play Services implements a lot of increasingly vital features and interfaces on Android. Not having it kills a good number of things people consider important, like push notifications (some apps are designed to still send push notifications like Signal, but it's kind of a hack and does drain the battery). If you're looking for almost the same functionality without google play services, MicroG[1] is an open source implementation of Google Play Services and its' associated components. I don't think it works on GrapheneOS unfortunately, but GrapheneOS already sandboxes all the Google Play Services components, so you should be fine as is. "Normal"/stock Android roms aren't set up the same way however, so you pretty much need either Google Play Services or MicroG for push notifications, location services, etc.

Changing the Android captive portal page
Except /e/OS then throws that out the window because it installs and enables microG by default which immediately connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...

MicroG v0.2.28.231657 released (changelog)
I don't know, Marvin isn't always very communicative, but keep in mind that every additional feature means additional work and additional bugs, and Marvin doesn't see to have too much time on his hands to work on MicroG (although it's nice that he seems to have been getting some help lately). Your best bet to obtain what you ask for would be to open an issue for a feature request here; however, there is already a similar request here (so I wouldn't open another) and you can see how it's panning out.

Is this a good battery backup for miui 13.0.4.
In TWRP you have to go to Mount menu and mount everything that you can: /system, /vendor, /data, etc. Then go to Wipe menu, click Advanced Wipe and check everything, then wipe your device clean of MIUI. At this point there will be no OS installed in your phone. After that, copy your custom rom .zip file to a USB Type-C OTG drive, plug it in your phone, go to Mount menu and mount USB OTG, then go to Install and click your custom ROM file in the OTG to install it. Install Magisk if you want root. Install Google Apps package from OpenGApps or other sources if your custom ROM doesn't include GApps (Play Store).

Is modded WSA safe?
These open source projects pull the latest original WSA packages from Microsoft, unpack the system images, add a Open GApps package ("open" as in the process of creating that package is open source, even if the Google apps themselves are not) and/or Magisk if you choose to, repack the images, build the Windows installable package.

I just got my Retroid Pocket 2 (not plus) and there are no emulators preinstalled. The Google Play store isn't even installed.
You don't have the Play Store? If you want that and it's not there, you can go this website and sideload it. I'm not sure if the retroid has some recovery mode but that's how you'd install it, mine is accessed by pressing the volume up + power button. They also have a wiki page. It's been a while since I rooted and installed ROMs on my smartphone though.
