I get the impression, yes. They still have a big list of supported devices, which means many maintainers, and they managed well to port their system to new android versions, even if a recent point release killed many devices. Have a look at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/, or alternatively my ROM finder https://www.sustaphones.com/.

However, I personally switched to CalyxOS. I was a bit unhappy with LineageOS pushing users towards the Gapps, by blocking microG from working properly (they blocked signature spoofing, a problem during the pandemic) and by forbidding discussions about microG on their subreddit, together with forbidding to even talk about issues with VoLTE or anything that touches rooting the system. They course corrected only a little bit with the signature spoofing, but still project user hostility otherwise via those rules. CalyxOS gave me a more usable system out of the box, while having a bigger focus on security (locking the boot loader) and presenting the project nicer. Vastly less devices supported though, and if pixels go closed now the Calyx project would have to implement big changes, those were their main devices.

I really like the idea of LineageOS but got tired with fighting SafetyNet (or whatever the name is today) and playing cat and mouse game on a previous phone. I just can't have an everyday phone where 20 different things don't work. Too bad.

I read that sometimes, but it hasn't been my experience. It maybe depends on local customs. In Germany for example, even banking apps usually work with custom roms, so does the train app and so does VoLTE - and that's all I need. For everything else there is F-Droid.
