I'm planning on getting a Pixel 7 Pro soon and I'm going to immediately put GrapheneOS on it. Are there any extra precautions I need to take?

Not really, just make sure that you're getting a carrier-unlocked device, since carrier locks often also come with permanent bootloader locks. As long as you can unlock the bootloader (i.e. the OEM unlocking setting in the developer settings is NOT greyed out), everything will be fine.

Got my Pixel 7 a a few days ago for 335 EUR, runs GrapheneOS well.

I can't wait! I've been on a cheap prepaid phone for YEARS and it barely functions at all at this point. I'm very excited about using a custom OS again. I think my last one was cyanogen mod on a Galaxy S3 if I am remembering correctly
