Well in fact I'd prefer a Google-free phone, but I need to use several apps that require Google services.
I've tried MicroG in the past, but as far as I understood it (may be completely wrong...?), you can't just install MicroG on top of any ROM you want, it needs to support signature spoofing, which regular LineageOS doesn't. So you need a special LOS version tailored to work with MicroG. That version does not seem to be avails for FxTec Pro1 (-X) (and neither for Sony Xperia 10, which I'd have liked to install it on).
It's quite the mess trying to get a de-googled phone, if you don't buy it all set up and ready, like from /e/ - and you need those darnded Gapps-needing apps...
