Best practices for a fresh stock Android (not Graphene) install? (lemy.lol)

I want to keep using Google Wallet, so I won't install Graphene, but I'm curious what some best practices are (privacy and otherwise) for an unused stock android (Pixel 9)?

The plan so far is install Aurora to get F-Droid and install what apps I can from there before checking elsewhere.

Also wondering if Google accounts be used on an app-by-app basis or do I need to sign in to the entire phone?

Most account log-ins are at a system level. Google, email, etc.

However, you can set up multiple users on most devices. So if you want to only use Google login for certain apps, set those apps up under a different account on the phone.

Check in settings -> system -> multiple users.

I keep all of my sensitive apps under a separate login on my phone, but I'm using graphene.
