No and no.

The GCam works without any sandboxed play service requirements. Note sandboxed Play Services. You can disable components, uninstall them again, give or restrict permissions, like normal Android apps.

On GrapheneOS you can also disable every App.

And Android Auto recently got support, fully sandboxed. But its crazy how much tracking that needs, I still have no idea what it is at all but it works.

I also tried Google Play Games, which is not available through their store, from Aurorastore, and with the sandboxed Play services it also works perfectly fine!

Oh cool! I was out of date on all of that so thank you

Yeah its always easy. There are a TON of misconceptions about GrapheneOS.

I am doing a writeup of a "GrapheneOS Kickstart" guide currently, nearly done. Includes many of those questions, although impossible to include all.

If a person says to you they know everything, you get 100% security or privacy, they are lying.
