I'm looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I've found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

Did you find any good replacement?

Nope all these keebs have flaws Florisboard was near perfect but lacked that numpad. I even feature requested on github but got ignored.

Using open board. The swipe is far from accurate and I miss the gestures. Anyway to stop data collection on Swiftkey?

Yeah disable internet access to it.
