It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

Seconded.

Without a single word on replacements for email, calendar, phone, etc... this post is pretty much useless to everyone else than the OP.

I replaced most of that with proton mail and grapheme is which ironically requires a pixel

No sandboxed Google Play services yet? Can be challenging without.

not sure if this helps, but i believe using a separate android profile/user is the same as sandboxing, although less convenient

See above. Plus I use Thunderbird for calendar.

Great, thanks!

How does Thunderbird work for you wrt to sharing calendars with others (eg. family) and syncing with eg. an Outlook calendar?

I only use Thunderbird calendar for myself so I don't know. Proton includes a calendar offering in their package but I have not tried it yet.
