Niche sideloaded app compatibility with Kompakt

Hello all!
Like many of you here in North America, I eagerly await my NAM Kompakt and check the forums for updates every day. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out how I want to set it up, and I have some specific use cases and compatibility questions for sideloaded apps.

Have any of you tried installing these apps, and if so, did they work for you?
Do any of them represent significant security risks for an AOSP based on Android 12?

TickTick
Uber
Amazon Music
Finch (self-care app)
Twitch (I know it’d be ridiculous to try to watch a stream, but as a streamer myself, I would use it to watch chat, mod, adjust stream settings, choose who to raid, etc)

I don’t see these on F-Droid, so I’d likely have to sideload the apk’s directly, off of apkpure or apkmirror.

Thank you in advance! (Edited for clarity)

Uber doesn’t work
Amazon Music works
Twitch works (even the video!)

For Amazon Music and Twitch, they don’t seem to work in background.

Lyft also doesn’t work because it needs Google Play Service. Unlike Uber; the app didn’t crash, but it still wouldn’t allow me to use it. It did show an explicit message saying that it won’t run without Google Play Service. I think they need it for location services so it might work with microG.

I also heard that Uber Lite should work, but I don’t live in the area where it is available.
