Welp, I got my old Nokia 6.1 (2018) up and mostly operational now.
I even have it mostly de-googled, thanks to TrackerControl (marvelous app!)
I guess I'm parking here (again) until the Fairphone 5 comes out.

Sadly, my Pixel only lasted me 2.61 years. That's a lot less than my beloved iPhone 4 (3.27y), and my *cursèd* Green iPhone 5c (3.66y)
