Good call. It seems this is just one way to run it, https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Hybris. Another way is to run mainline kernel, which is currently supported by few devices, including Librem 5, Pinephone, Fairphone 2, OnePlus. It seems only the first two run with all FLOSS drivers and full support: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
So, for OnePlus, you may stop getting updates for proprietary drivers whenever the vendor decides so. Also, not all features are supported due to the difficulty of reverse-engineering the drivers.
Driver updates generally stablize, and new updates aren't really needed, so I don't think that's an issue.
Vulnerabilities are found in drivers all the time.
That's a huge exaggeration, honestly. I don't think there are any outstanding vulnerabilities in any of the OnePlus T devices that can run PMOS.
