The LineageOS Project has long supported the XZ2 ‘akari’ with two mainboards. Based on this, iodé.tech shows how attractive a LineageOS fork with microG can be. Two maintainers are working here as well. Both CustomROM run very smoothly. Get your unlock code from Sony website.

The Xperia XZ2 and at least an unofficial /e/ OS ‘Q’ should be feasible for a skilled ROM builder.
