MODERATORS
You're well above average. I'd say pretty good. One thing you didn't say: Are you often logged in into the services like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Discord, ... Because if you are, they can tie everything together with your account. And did you sign up for those services with your phone number? That'd be bad because it's a unique identifier. Regarding the phone it depends on which apps exactly you installed from the Play store. Most have trackers and there are shady apps out there. I also mainly rely on F-Droid and that's the way to do it. Another thing is email. If you use gmail, all your correspondence gets scanned, regardless of what you do at home. And you shouldn't use membership programs for discounts in real life.
Other than that. I think I do more or less the same things you mentioned. Plus I replaced the Android my phone came with.
