Unfortunately, its not that simple. Given his behavior with CopperheadOS, I recommend against using something where he controls the updates. I think his coding skills are solid.

It never is! 
We all have our own ideas on how things should be done.
At least we have quite a bit of choice right now.
I donāt think it has ever been a better time for ROMs and FOSS apps.

Lack of updates for calyxos, copperhead/graphene, and many many more
ROMs and update support come and go. I support boycotting devices without (non-surgically) replaceable batteries (or sims) so lack of updates would make more difference.

In the civil suit counterclaim posted on grapheneos dot org, you can find a statement (#22) regarding the developerāsā¦ personality and work practices, and a lot of other details that donāt inspire confidence IMO.
The core components have open source firmware , and there are even public hardware schematics. This is as close as youāre going to get to a totally open source smartphone . ā¦ There have been phones that run open source builds of Android, but those are full of closed-source firmware from non-open components.

The core components
The modem is a core component.
And it is proprietary.
But donāt worry it is all OK because we made its flash READ ONLY?
So down the line when there are critical security issues found they canāt even be patched.
Just to get some silly RYF certification?
Please correct me if I am wrong, I stopped following most of those devices.
