Besides making compiling apps yourself very difficult (you'd have to register and change the app's name), it's extremely likely that they won't just accept anyone and any app; at least things like NewPipe and Aurora Store are likely to get banned.
Compliling apps yourself would fall under and use the system for hobbyists Google said they are working on. At a basic level, apps you compile yourself would likely sideload over adb/USB and it's easy enough to exception adb as an install vector as distinct from app stores downloading and installing from the the network.
adb doesn't help F-Droid, but that's clearly a very different thing (at least as I see it).
