I notice my battery life is much better switching to graphine from the stock google rom.

Yes, but keep in mind individual apps like Signal need to run in the background at all times if you want to receive timely notifications on Graphene, because they cannot rely on the Google backend for that. If you have enough such apps, you may well find that battery life is shorter than on the stock OS.

https://unifiedpush.org/ fixes this for a number of apps. Self-hostable.

Battery life is still better than stock in my case, and it's just as reliable as sandboxed Play. Highly recommend.
