I've really enjoyed mine and no complaints about /e/os either. Switched from a flagship Samsung as part of an effort to de-google, and the transition has been pretty smooth.

Both my wife and I have FP6s with e/os (I'm technical and love tinkering, she just wants something that works)
We both absolutely love our phones! It just works. Had an issue with one app, for a virtual museum card in our country, only so far that required google services and did not work with mircrog. Everything else from banking to government apps works flawlessly.

I have come to dislike mine. Stock Android bc I couldn't get it with /e/ and my old phone was blowing up. Didn't dare to lose the Google backup.
Weekly freezes requiring hard resets, Bluetooth issues, internet issues, graphical stuttering. I got it for the replaceable battery, but damn, now I don't want it at all.
