You can't really use Android without the Google Play anyways so that's a moot point, none of the popular apps will work. Google Play is very much a core part of the Android OS.
Even EOS and GrapheneOS realized that themselves.
You can perfectly fine use it without, many people do. If you can tell us what issues you exactly bump into when trying to use the phone without Play, feel free to share, we might be able to suggest you some apps or workflows to work around the issues you are having.
