Can I install/update my bank apps, and pay with my phone? That's the bare minimum I need to switch to a deGoogled OS.

Solely depends on your banking app. If it requires Safety Net, you need to flash gapps on any ROM, or have a microg preflashed version.

Btw, i only need to hold my MasterCard on the card read and enter a pin if over 70 CHF. This isn't common?

I think American banks and Google Pay are the biggest problem here. That, and the weird American payment systems that has only recently started moving away from the magstripe/just enter the numbers approach.

My banking apps works on my rooted phone and I haven't even bothered to use Magiskhide to hide my root status. I mostly use it because my bank card's RFID broke and I'm not paying 20 euros to replace it when my phone can do the same thing.

The OS includes microG which has a SafetyNet implementation

So i guess, yes?

A safetynet impl. that will fail your device on even the most basic integrity check. You don't need safetynet """Implementation""" you need a safetynet pass

Just because contactless exists doesn't mean that you wouldn't want the ability to pay with your phone.
