I have yet to find a banking app that refuses to work on LineageOS. The only problem is if you root your phone, in which case you'll have to use Magisk to hide root from those apps, which also works fine so far.

A plain Lineage install will include "rooted debugging" in the developer options.

This is separate from the Magisk root app.

I don't believe using the ADB root functionality is problematic. The Magisk app also has a hide mode.

Revolut is notrious in this regard. If memory serves, they explicitly check the build string for LineageOS and block the app if it matches. The workaround at the time was to build the ROM yourself with a new build name string.
