The patches provided by LOS aren't anywhere close enough to keep the phone secure/private. LineageOS breaks android security model in all but selected few devices, mainly Pixels I think. Your phone is very likely more secure by sticking to the original OS your phone shipped with.
My old phone is vulnerable to a kernel RCE by anyone in the vicinity for simply having Bluetooth enabled. I doubt my phone is more secure sticking with the original OS.
I am interested in why the LineageOS patches are causing security issues, though. Do you know where I can read more about this?

GOS developers have many numerous comments about this, if you google "LineageOS grapheneos" you should also find plenty of them.
GrapheneOS, or specifically Micay is known to be hostile to many other projects like microG, /e/ OS, Calxy etc. There are certainly truths to some of what they say, but it comes over as extremely hostile.
Hm, looks like it is more than just few security tweaks.
