No. I'd probably use FuriOS and Furilab's phone if/when GrapheneOS becomes unviable. It's not great but if you're a nerd you can wrangle it.

It can also run Android APK in a container. Though I'm not sure if that remains true if Google locks things down. That and a lot of projects will die off when F-Droid goes down with them anyways.
