Well, I installed Play Store and Services from the Graphene App Store. Unfortunately my banking app must be installed from Play and needs services, but that’s really the only reason.
Aurora is also a good substitute store if you don’t want to use sandboxed Google Play, but anything that uses Google Play Services will likely be borked
For most of the Play Store apps, it’s really a good alternative. However. some apps require to be installed from Play Store, like banking apps, but for everything else, it works fine.
I’m using Graphene for around a 6 months now on a Pixel 9, with F-Droid being the primary app source. I quite like it.
have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?

MicroG isn’t necessary with Grapheneos’s sandboxed Google Play.
Apart from unnecessary, pretty sure it’s also unsupported to begin with
