Does everything work on /e/OS? Like banking and etc expected uses for daily use.

tl;dr it works really great for me, but there is no complete guarantee for the future, if that's not acceptable stay away.

So far, yes, at least for me. Telegram, WhatsApp, Netflix, banking, you name it. I have apps from three different banks, and they are perfect. Even the itsme app of the belgian government works a-ok. But there is no guarantee that this will always be the case.

Notably Revolut has embraced enthusiastically the new Play Integrity system, and does not work at all on any third party ROM since late autumn. I was not a customer, but it has pissed many people off.

It is not impossible that this might happen with more banks in the future.

The App of my German mutuality didn't work at the beginning (refused to log me in due to "issues with my device") but after a later update now works fine. Who know how long that will be.

Some Google things you simply loose, such as Google Pay, I also have had very mixed success with Chromecast.

Android Auto works, but refuses to use any other navigation app than GMaps and Waze. I tried installing Mapy, HereWeGo, Organic, Magic Earth... But it doesn't work. I half understand the reason, but I haven't figured out a solution yet.

I also couldn't get Slay the Spire to work, I guess it depends on some Google Play Games feature. That's probably for the better, I already spend too much time playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which is an open source roguelike available on F-Droid. Highly recommend.
