You don't have to use Google services. They are fully optional, and not installed by default. AOSP/GrapheneOS without Google services is very usable, there are only very few things you can't do without proprietary services. You still have the option to create a separate user profile (which are also improved by GrapheneOS btw) to install Google Play services, and keep it isolated from the rest of your apps and data.
