Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! (kbin.melroy.org)

Thanks for the answer!

The google location timeline convinced me to get my ass off of Google more than anything so not having it is a big plus

I will warn you that apps like Uber and Lyft might not work. But that's not because of the location. It's because those apps absolutely seem to require Google Play services to even boot. Pretty much as soon as you open those apps, they will crash.
