I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

This hasn't been my experience. Chinese battery tech become much better in the recent years. I've replaced battery in my Pixel 3 with an 8$ knock-off from AliExpress with good reviews and it's performing just as original, both subjectively and by AccuBattery metrics.
