I wonder if you could keep your "snitch" android phone home by instrumentalizing it, enabling you to access it remotely on your main linux/degoogled android phone. It might not even be that outrageous of an idea since there are tons of botfarms that are essentially stacks and stacks of legit phones being remotely controlled... the tech might be there already, just need to adapt if for something good...

How likely is it for google to deny access to all or most of the apis that makes this possible? Then you need to point a camera to the screen, mike the speakers and so on...
If you asked me yesterday if Google would ever block sideloading, I would have said no.
All bets are off at this point.
