The only downside is that, on some maps, the grey-water is the same as the grey-road and it happened a few times that I thought a canal was a road when doing bike trip.
Google Maps is working but sometimes loosing the position, probably due to the fact there are no Google services on the smartphone. So Google Maps is very unreliable. It may loose positioning in the middle of a trip (suddenly, position is not updated anymore).
Well, really good to degooglize yourself ;-)
Never tried Spotify nor Waze nor Telegram.
Whatsapp was working if I remember well but I’ve deleted my account year ago. Signal is working fine except for notifications which are sometimes held until you launch the app. This doesn’t happen all the time, I suspect the aggressive battery "freezer".
For me, it is a feature as I’m disturbed less (the phone is in silence mode most of the time anyway). If I expect a message, I simply open Signal before locking the screen.
Note: there’s a way to forbid freezing for specific applications if needed. I just didn’t wanted to do it.

Using signal has not been always easy. See : https://ploum.net/2023-03-09-losing-signal.html
