LeOS sounds interesting indeed. Why isn't it mentioned on privacy communities (unlike Graphene and Lineage) ?
That's quite appalling. Might try out LeOS, also curious why it isn't brought up more often. Perhaps because the color scheme screams "I paid for all 16'777'216 colors so I'm gonna use them all!"? Not a dealbreaker for me, but if you have used it, is there an option for less colorful icons?
LeOS isn't very popular, because it's a passion-project by one guy, with little marketing. Said guy is a somewhat opinionated Woodstock-era hippie, hence the colorful icons (they can be easily swapped via an icon-pack of your choice.) Though he is a friendly person.
To my knowledge it's the only Treble-option with a hard stance on de-googling. Specifically made as an answer to some policies in eOS. There is an interview with him floating about, if you want the backstory. https://nixfaq.org/2021/01/exclusive-interview-with-guntram-lead-developer-of-a-popular-custom-degoogled-android-rom-called-leos.html
which diveces are supported?
By LeOS? Any GSI-Treble enabled Android phone. So most any phone with an unlockable bootloader. You can use the treble info app to check or search online.
