GrapheneOS is a smooth, easy upgrade from stock firmware, with little to no issue.
There's the occasional bug that comes up, usually associated with certain GAPPS not liking their sandboxing. Recently, RCS has gone down like twice in the last year due to tweaks on Google's end that GOS sorted relatively quickly.
Personally, I'm less concerned with the security, and more concerned with the privacy. It is nice to completely deprive apps of network access, and set up secondary profiles that have no background permissions to house... peskier apps.
With permissions dialed in, my phone is smoother and the battery lasts longer than it did on stock firmware because I can more easily lock apps down.
