Is LineageOS for microG legit? (lineage.microg.org)

Is this as safe as installing Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid seperately? I am thinking to finally make the jump away from Android (and preferrably all of Google) and this looks like a really really handy solution. Perhaps too handy, if you get my drift. Is this a legit project or is it just a wrapper to send all my data to Tel Aviv?

With enough time and coffee I think I could eventually manage to install Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid individually but LineageOS for microG seems to have it all wrapped in a bow for me.

TIA!

It's legit. I guess they receive LineageOS updates directly, in which case I don't think there's any real disadvantage here.

+1 for it being legit, friend of mime used it a few years ago. When I checked back then it seemed to be an Lineage OS version behind so I went for Lineage and installed MicroG on top.
