FOSS launcher options? (lemm.ee)

I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn't been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn't been updated in a year
Nova is what I'm using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they're reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Every UI setup change needs a launcher restart to take effect

I think I've run into this bug a couple of times. For some reason, the grid can become unaligned and I'd have to restart the launcher from the advanced options to fix it. I wish development was faster but that's how open source goes sometimes.
