The problem with custom android ROM is that the kernel is built with proprietary drivers, and porting them to other custom android is really hard

GrapheneOS doesn't have any proprietary kernel drivers. There aren't any for the supported devices. Firmware and a subset of userspace driver libraries such as the Mali GPU driver library are what's proprietary.
