Lineage OS is really great, I recommend the forked version with MicroG bundled to use google apps.

Depends on how pure you want to be. If you are a purest, that is a bad thing to do.

Well yes you are right, but being completely pure is borderline impossible IMO, and most people transition slowly.

Is it equal to a regular android? Will the usual banking apps work on it, for example?

No. Banking won't work and you can't lock bootloader. As far as I know there's no Recovery password so someone could just adb and pull data. If you want to use banking apps you could use magisk to pass safety net but that will make your phone less secure. Personally I have no banking app so I don't give a shit

The Sparkasse (german bank) app works perfectly fine. I use LineageOS with microG and I'm not logged in with a Google account or anything.

Nowadays with SafetyNet hardware checks it's a dangerous game to rely on that.

With the right Magisk modules I got my banking apps working

If you aren't sure if you can fully degoogle then it a great offer. Unfortunately many apps depend on GSF so its understandable.

It works perfectly in my case can't say for others. You should check their issues page in github about your device.

Works perfectly fine for me. I've also used an app that used Google Maps in it and it worked perfectly fine. Instead of Google Maps it displayed the map on OpenStreetMap.
