I've looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren't being maintained anymore.

Edit: I've spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I've landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.

I really recommend AnySoftKeyboard.

Unexpeted Keyboard is the one for me. Takes a bit to get used to but I wouldn't want to use anything else anymore.

I tried most of them, it's just not the same as Gboard.

Anyone know if you can block Gboard with DNS?

Idk but you could always just install gboard & not give network permissions. You'll lose a little functionality like the ability to add gifs from the keyboard which obviously need internet to search/load.

I'm using open board with swipe entry (so it functions like gboard). My only complaint is I've noticed I have to be extremely accurate in my swiping or it won't type out the intended word).

In this message alone: my first attempts at the word "type" came out as toe. "Out" came out as TT & "along" came out as "alone"

So it's definitely not perfect. I might stick with it. I might just go back to gboard and not grant it network permission. It's only been about a week so a little too early to tell..
