LineageOS 18.1 Released
I've been using LineageOS since the good ol' CyanogenMod days and I am very grateful for how much work the developers put into it day in and day out.
Thanks to them, I managed to get rid of Google Apps in my day-to-day life almost[0] entirely and drastically improve privacy for me: Instead of Google Play Services I use MicroG[1] and instead of Play Store, I use Aurora Store[2] and F-Droid. For syncing files there is Syncthing[3] and for backups there is Seedvault[4]. To isolate apps I don't trust I use NetGuard[8] and Shelter[9] and practically no internet-facing app has access to my internal "SD card" on which my photos and documents reside. As a bonus, getting rid of GApps and using LineageOS has increased my phones' battery life and their overall lifetime tremendously. (I've only owned three smartphones in my entire life, the original T-Mobile G1, the HTC One M8 and the BQ Aquaris Pro.) I couldn't be happier.
That being said, I've closely been following GrapheneOS[5] because I find its additional security guarantees very attractive. In fact, just a few hours ago my new Pixel 5 arrived and I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Though I already know I will miss MicroG… Maybe I'll end up building my own custom Android ROM, using Hashbang or RattlesnakeOS[6, 7]?
Overall, I don't really understand people who criticize Android for not being open while loudly claiming a "pure" Linux phone would be so much better. (There was yet another discussion here on HN just a few days ago.) Yes, Android is a not your typical open-source project and clearly in the hands of Google. Yes, most phone and chip manufacturers still haven't open-sourced their hardware binary blobs. We definitely have to fight these fights. But with a Linux phone I'd probably be struggling with window-manager-related bugs in the worst possible moments (say, an emergency call) and risk all my data getting stolen whenever I install a new app.
As much as I like Linux – I dabbled with it the first time almost two decades ago and have been using it as a daily driver for more than a decade – but its stability and, especially, security guarantees are orders of magnitude worse than Android's.
I secretly hope that Fuchsia will find its way to the desktop at some point and be able to replace my Linux system.

if you use an AOSP based ROM, give Seedvault another look since they merged device2device-transfer in the beginning of the year https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/pull/562

I ditched Google and installed the privacy-focused GrapheneOS on my Pixel
There's no way to do a direct image. You can try using seedvault to back up individual pieces of data though: https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault
-
'No suitable backups found at given location. This is most likely due to a wrong recovery code or a storage error' one SeedVault restore
https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/wiki/FAQ and you could look in the Issues, etc.
- please check comprehension and fill in gaps re: rooting device

Any way to backup to commercial cloud (e.g. google drive, dropbox, aws glacier, b2 backblaze)

I want to degoogle by using GrapheneOS, but I have questions/concerns about functionality. Ease my mind and teach me?
There is Seedvault which allows to backup to a USB drive or cloud with end to end encryption.
What are some alternatives?
