Like the other reply said, Lineage doesn't do a whole lot in terms of degoogling. I quite enjoy DivestOS, it's a project that takes Lineage as a base and strips out as much Google and proprietary code as possible.
In fact, it's so Google-free that neither sandboxed Play Services nor MicroG are officially supported, though the latter can still be installed and used just fine, though with a few drawbacks.

Same as Lineage, it runs on more devices, but certain features like bootloader relocking depend on the phone.

Microg has drawbacks?

Edit: sorry that's a question. What are they?
