I don't mind giving graphene a try but I'll be honest, I have the following issues:
It's impossible to brick a Pixel while flashing GrapheneOS, thanks to their super easy to use Web-based installer, and Google's great support for alternative operating systems, which also makes the installation process easier and safer.
If you mess anything up, you can always restart from the beginning and get it fixed. You can't break a Pixel during flashing.
Why not buy a used one? I plan on picking one up from ebay or something.
I can but the issue is that I won't be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.
