Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! (kbin.melroy.org)

I wanna know that too! I actually found a lot of app notifications working, but some not and also some constantly told me "This app doesn't work without GPS" while running perfectly fine, apart from that message.

I did not install anything to replace GPS, so something must work out of the box there. Installed most of the app via Aurora Store from FDroid

For apps that won't notify without GS I just use ntfy. Works great. But I still keep most notifications off, does wonders for my mental health.
