Would Shizuku be an option for you? That's privilege elevation similar to root but you don't need to unlock the bootloader for it. Pro is definitely that banking apps and OTA will still work afterwards. Cons are it's a bit finicky and apps written for root still won't work if they don't explicitly work with Shizuku, too (some of them do). You'll also be able to uninstall apps for user 0 which aren't uninstallable otherwise (like gboard on G72, when I had one).
I'm running LineageOS on a Moto G42. I bought this device with LOS in mind (also it is one of the very few devices with headphone jack and MicroSD slot). So far I'm happy. I always rooted/custom flashed every device since 2012. I'm no longer rooting anymore though. Shizuku is sufficient for my needs.
