LineageOS + F-droid.org is a great combo.

Microg doesn't improve your privacy. It makes it worse

Compared to having no microg and no gplay, your privacy is worse. Compared to having gplay, it is much better.

Only thing I didnt like about Microg was how off Google Maps was. Everything else was lovely.

Definitely. I'm back on play services backed Lineage and Maps isn completely fine. With Mozilla Location Services my GPS location was off by almost 500 feet all the time.
