As a Pixel user I hope this isn't a case of: Be careful what you wish for. Will future OS updates be better across the board or will they remove features?

Well as an iOS user, the last iOS release fucked me up pretty badly. Ergo, I would assume the same is possible from Google.

What I'd like is an exit route for my hardware aka LineageOS. But of course the core of Android is Google Play Services, not the OS so that's a painful situation if you want to retain some apps when you switch over.

I used a Pixel 6A for 3 months while I was travelling internationally and I liked most of it.

I'm not following; it's easy to install Google Play Services on lineage

It is but I don't want them and half the crap doesn't work without them. I use MSFT apps and OrganicMaps and that's about it.

MicroG is an option, it's an open source implementation of a good portion of play services, though not everything "just works". But for the bare minimum like functional push notifications, location services, etc it's not half bad. There exists a fork[1] of lineage with MicroG installed from the get-go, otherwise installing it can be a little painful.
