I'm not too concerned with that. As far as I know, almost all Android apps that need to send notifications to the device use FCM. If Google pulls the plug on it, many apps will stop working as intended.
The open source/degoogled alternative to that is UnifiedPush, did you take a look at this?

I did not, but I will. I would just point out that Privastead assumes the the push notification infrastructure is untrusted anyway.
