I’ve just read that Samsung is offering an ota security update for Samsung S9. That is a good thing. Just security, and still Android 10.
But would it be a good thing to go to stock rom, get this new security update, and go back to /e/ again?
Or does this not have any effect on Vendor, or other parts that are ‘shared’?
Anyone with some advise?

Probably you have to check yourself if you want to be sure.
Reverting to stock rom would probably do the trick, I think. But whether it’s worth the hassle depends on the severity of the vulnerabilities the update patches. Where did you read about it? It would help if we had more details.
I read it on tweakers.net. in the netherlands. Based on:
Four-year-old Galaxy S9 gets latest security update - SamMobile
And these security and privacy updates;

Yesterday I installed latest stock rom to get this last security update.
As experiment I tried to install Lineageos 18.1 unofficial and tried to install MicroG as well after stock. Therefor I managed to realise signature spoofing with these instructions:
This was working wonderfull, but …
I kept problems with some apps that could not find Googles Plays store. While I had all the marks in MicroG self check.
Today I reinstalled /E/ Q 0.22 on my starlte. This is working well again. But I wanted to try android 11 as well.
There is something that worries me.
In MicroG settings - Google SafetyNet - Test SafetyNet attestation
I get a warning: Warning: CTS profile does not match.
How can I fix this? Do I have to fix this?
I use Aurora store, but can not find all the apps I want and I had before.
Some apps are geo-restricted.
That is not the problem I have. The apps I could not find, where Tikkie (Dutch), Sprint (Sport app). I installed these before on /e/ same version.
I managed to install them from a seedvault backup now. Then I could even update via Aurora.
