Experience with GrapheneOS (lemm.ee)

I'm considering buying a pixel 7(a/pro) or pixel 8(a/pro). I was wondering if the longer updates for the pixel 8 impacts grapheneOS, and if that means I should go for the pixel 8. And have any GrapheneOS users here had any issues that they wouldn't have had on Android.

Thanks alot in advance!

From the GrapheneOS website

8th generation Pixels provide a minimum guarantee of 7 years of support from launch instead of the previous 5 year minimum guarantee

As for issues, the only one I've heard really people complain about is the lack of Google Pay. I've never used it so it doesn't make any difference for me. Apparently, some banking apps have issues on GrapheneOS too, but both my banks' apps work fine.
