I checked them out.
Ended up using GrapheneOS a couple of years ago. Much better. Can't recommend that OS enough.
Adding to that, the experience you get with current vanilla Pixels is horrible, Google now installs heaps of apps like YouTube that you cannot uninstall.
After you try GrapheneOS I don't think you can ever go back to stock Google.

I've heard that the NFC payment doesn't work on GrapheneOS, is that so?

I personally have never used this feature but based on the discussion on their forum it seems that you need to have Vanilla Google OS to enable that feature:

Those apps are most likely checking if the OS on your phone is running a Google Certified OS, which GrapheneOS isn't.

I don't know for you but for me paying with my phone is really a crucial feature which I cannot give up..

Fair enough, I don't know too much about that feature as I have never used it and probably never will.
I don't think any non-google OS supports that though. If they do, GrapheneOS would support it.
