You might want to check out GrapheneOS, a security-focused alternative ROM for Pixels. It’s minimalistic, easy to install and has been painless so far.
I’m mostly an open source/libre software user (this LineageOS tablet I’m using right now is entirely Google-free) so as long as AOSP upstream is available I should be fine.
I still pay for and use some Google services for the sake of convenience but I could self-host them in principle. Or cease consuming them altogether. Same applies for some proprietary apps.
I got a pixel 9 and it’s thicker and smaller and idk if I like it. I know I hate some of the software.

I would but I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to last
