What I did on my old Oneplus 7t (from a fresh install) was using Shelter to create a work profile and keep anything google related there. On the main profile I didn't sign in to google or installed any google apps. I also disabled all OEM bloatware and apps I didn't use. Not ideal, but better than nothing and all I could do before getting a new phone without unlocking the bootloader.
The reverse may be a better option(?), as you can completely remove / disable ALL google services (google play, google play services, google framework, etc.) within the work profile
I use insular, which is a fork of shelter/island.
