There is already a way to do this. It's fiddly, but not by much. Once set up it's a much better experience, though.

What’s most glaringly missing, for you specifically, from the plethora of options available?

It seems like plenty of options are getting 7/10 things right.

I am patiently waiting for that one. I have been willing to move to GrapheneOS for a while, but I don't feel like buying Google hardware.
