Is LineageOS without GApps basically the same as /e/OS? (feddit.nl)

I have to update a phone that currently has LOS, and degoogle it at the same time. If I just upgrade to the latest version (by flashing) and not install mind the gapps, is it basically a degoogled phone? It seems that installing /e/ over the current LOS would require me to flash stock rom first, which takes more time. The current LOS version on the phone was just 1 or 2 iterations below the latest version, 20 or 21 I don't remember.

TIA

You might be missing some of the advance privacy features. I'm not sure... I've been on e/os for a few years now and haven't checked out LOS recently. Have a read of this

I get those with Magisk/LSposed, but having it by default is nice. Maybe i will check it out sometime.

Does it have parental controls?

Looks like you're right about that, thanks.
