It's most likely that the anti theft feature is based on a hardware identifier (IMEI) and won't be triggered by installing a different OS.
Shouldn't be any problem. I've been doing open source ROMs since android v2 and it works fine on AT&T and Verizon.
One caveat is to make sure you have VoLTE working on stock android before you flash a new ROM. Sometimes that must be activated on the carrier with stock android to work on LineageOS or GrapheneOS
Unless something changed, I'm fairly certain you can't unlock the bootloaders of Verizon devices
It is an unlocked phone with a Verizon SIM card if that helps. I’ll update this thread if I try it out and it ends up working.
It'll work, I've been doing it since 2010 on Verizon
