Any recommendations? So far, Google maps has remain my go-to despite my efforts to de-google myself.

Magic Earth is another that’s polished and easy UI, plus it’s privacy respecting

OpenStreetMap, and the various clients for it. I personally am a big fan of Organic Maps, fast, responsive and clean. If you happen to be on iOS, I hear Apple Maps is also not as bad as Google, though also not open source.

Is there an OSM client that has live traffic info or incorporates live public transport schedules? This has been the only thing keeping me from switching.

AFAIK OpenStreetMap itself doesn't have live traffic info, and I do not know of any client that has it, sorry :(
