I have an issue with a few apps that do not work at all or work poorly without google play services.

Is there anything a person can do? Eg. use google play services just for those apps or something like that?

So how do you overcome broken app issues?Is there an alternative to just not using those apps? Do you have separate not degoogled phones? Or do you use those apps in mobile browser? What about mobile

but as far as comparability goes, sandboxed services is always better.

Pretty sure you meant "compatibility", which I agree with, since you're running the actual Google software just isolated in user profile.

I think you've covered it all pretty well. Moving away from Google Services comes with tradeoffs that we have to decide how to address, individually.

For me, I've found there's stuff I was used to having that I really don't need anymore, things that can be accessed through a browser such as Hermit or Native Alpha (like my bank, The Free Dictionary and Etymonline).

Other stuff I'll have to address through some self-hosting, like location sharing which was through Google Maps.

Yes for sure meant comparability. Auto correct likes to do it's stuff from time to time
