You can just set it up so biometrics can't unlock the phone but can be used to get into banking apps, password managers, etc. I've had this set up for a couple years and it is no less convenient than using the biometrics honestly.
It's in: settings > screen lock and biometrics > unlock type set to PIN and then you can activate biometrics and turn off the slider that indicates unlock device.
