Trinity College in Dublin has done a few studies in this area over the years. Here's a Forbes article about them (apologies in advance if it is paywalled).
Switching to open source, privacy-respecting apps is the most important part of obtaining privacy on Android and it sounds like you've done that. Whether you need to have the absolute highest level of protection against Google is really something only you can determine. For me, "stock" Android with as many FOSS replacements as possible is good enough.
Yes that's what I'm trying to determine lol but I haven't been able to know what it is Google has the power to do with stock android.
Thank you for the link to the article!
