Remaining FOSS Obstacles
Well for the bonus question, you can backup using Linux Android Backup (it also works on Windows and MacOS, and theoretically on Android). It backs up all your contacts, calanders, files and free apps in open formats (so can be reinstalled without the app if it is discontinued). A few days ago beta SMS and call log backup support was added as well.

[HELP] Update over OTA
I'm assuming you're already rooted based on your question? That should make things easier. I personally use a root backup app like Neo Backup to backup apps and app data and store it on a hard drive along with other important files. Also, if you're willing and the option's available, I would make a TWRP backup just in case. Then you can clean install and restore your apps and files separately. Encryption shouldn't be an issue if you backup using an app.

"Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit". However, people seem to like it. The sorry state of Android Backups
NeoBackup should be decent if you're digging for an OSS solution.

I'm tempted to switch to a Google Pixel phone with GrapheneOS but for now I couldn't find any alternative to Neo-Backup, which requires root.
