You're blowing this entirely out of proportion. The vast vast majority of apps work without issue with sandboxed play services. Yes it's less plug and play than a stock os. No it's not a life-ending inconvenience.

Just looked - Microsoft Authenticator doesn't appear to work. I might be able to get off of it but it will take some prep. My banks are supported so that's good.

Problem is that if the app that doesn't work is not fungible (see your gym app, your banking app, your community app, etc) then you are out. The best compromise is to have a backup phone for incompatible non-fungible apps
