assuming it uses MicroG, yeah it still lacks a lot of compatibility. I am using GrapheneOS and it has sandboxed google play, which basically gaslights the google play services into thinking it has full device access, but limits it to just a regular app that can be installed/uninstall at will. It's pretty cool and is like 99.9% compatibility with regular stuff which is cool.
