I love GrapheneOS. Before trying it one should consider that unlike some "sister" projects, it does not support signature spoofing, so if you need SafetyNet or something similar, you will likely be out of luck.

On one hand I like the no spoofing position the devs took, on the other hand my banking app.

is microG still a viable solution for avoiding Gapps or is there something better now?

With GrapheneOS, specifically, it kind of defeats their design goals[0] -- so on Graphene I would say it is not a viable solution.

On other custom ROMS such as CalyxOS (my go-to for my Pixels), or LineageOS, I have used microG and it works very well.

Have been using GrapheneOS for over a year now. With the Google compatibility layer I can use all my banking/credit card apps (4 different ones) and many more. I like the details available online and the frequent updates. Pretty smooth first installation too using their web installer and getting help on via their Matrix rooms or forum is usualy quick. I only have one government app where QR scanning doesn't work but not sure why. All other apps with QR scanning, including banking apps, work.
