I don't care that much about security. For me lineage os is less bloated than graphene os.

You notice it on old hardware. On my Latitude e6220 (i3 2nd gen) there is a night and day performance difference between windows 10 and Linux.
Just remove as much permissions as possible. If you want more control rooting is still "the choice". BTW Banking apps can work with root if that's the concern.
If you don't want root. Use a custom ROM like graphene(if your device is supported) or voltageos(if your device is not supported by graphene)
- You can't revoke android.permission.INTERNET at runtime. You can only revoke at install time. Since you don't have root you can't revoke that permission.
- Did you check settings? There is an option to remove background data access from an app.
No, if you have another launcher installed with quickswitch support (like Lawnchair). Then you will be fine.
Note: QuickSwitch requires root. It's for gestures and navigation support.
Libretube, tubular, newpipe, etc.
I think AppImage is also an option.
I use artix Linux with hyprland WM. System uses 384mb of ram on idle.
Edit: Even with extreme debloat you can't get this performance on windows.
