Is it shitty for the reasons you’ve outlined, or something else?
I have one and it's great, zero complaints. The OS runs great, battery life is excellent and I quickly got used to using websites and apps on a small screen. Only downside is no OS updates, but I just put LineageOS on mine.
Oh, there's LOS for it? That's appealing. Is it an official or unofficial build?
It's unofficial but it uses a Generic System Image (GSI), basically a non-device-specific version of LOS that's installed on top of the device's stock kernel/drivers. The only hardware that seems to be unsupported is the auto-brightness sensor and the rear LEDs. Resources here. I've been using mine with F-Droid and MicroG instead of google services and it works great, no stability issues at all.
