I've used the out of box experience with the light phone 3 for a few unplugged weekends. Absolutely one of the best minimalist phones I've used, and I've used a lot. If this is something you want to dip your toes in, this device is a winner once the price goes down. Having podcasts, navigation, music, and even a camera (old point and shoot camera quality) on a minimal device is a big win. Do keep in mind there no RCS support. The way Google has this implemented requires gapps and the google messages app.
All that being said, due to years of doing things like this, I can take most android phones and strip them down to a minimal phone with a combo of adb and/or non-root adb powered apps.
