Is there an overview somewhere of stable third parties that do these builds? I might want to use one of them and didn't know this was a thing. Not having access to my own data is the only reason I haven't installed the OS yet
The problem is that even if you build this yourself, and sign it with your keys, the signature of the builds will not lead to positive hardware attestation. This, as noted by @palata, is required for passing Play Integrity Checks, and in turn is the requirement for using banking, tap2pay & co.

I'd rather use free software and have a free device. The apps I use currently on Android have no problem with root
