Yes, this is the alternative. And it's a PITA as you say. And might not even be possible in the future, given the trend towards locking down Android and OSs in general.
Yeah we need to fight to ensure its possible going forward. Even now GrapheneOS doesn't have RCS or google pay cos google won't give GrapheneOS a certificate as a trusted os (despite googles own international android developer team requesting it as GrapheneOS makes a significant contribution to android security).
I don't want RCS on my phone. I would rather use an open standard like XMPP or Matrix. But Big G's behavior in this regard is very toxic and monopolistic. Also, I believe for a truly free mobile experience, we should support linux mobile, rather than android ROMs
