I fear not even adb is enough. It used to expose backup/restore functionality which allowed for some neat tricks like transferring/modifying shared preferences. So of course now that's gone. Seems like it's only a matter of time before adb requires a host certificate issued by Google

    ADB is meant for developers. It wouldn't be far fetched to think restrictions could be added in Android 20-22 to limit the usefulness.

    Besides, developers would be less enthusiastic with ID verification and all. Not to mention it would be difficult for Fdroid to operate and distribute apps.
