CalixOS or AOSP on Fairphone 5 ? (jlai.lu)

I have already a degoogled phone on /e/OS which works pretty fine but I have red an article which said /e/OS is not actually very safe because it has very old security patches compared to AOSP which has is up-to-date.

/e/OS is the product of Murena company which is promoting their own stuff for profit.

Of course GrafeneOS would be better for privacy but I have a fairphone so it is not an option. What about CalyxOS ? It is more privacy oriented but now releases are paused. Do you think I should install existing build of CalyxOS for FP5 or install LineageOS and find a good DNS/VPN to block ads and trackers. This is a tool I like on e/OS/ to have a view on blocked trackers.

What alternative would you advice on AOSP ?

Sorry not to answer your question, but /e/OS is indeed not really behind in terms of security patches, for example the latest release (3.7) includes the April security patches
