Additionally, NetGaurd is great for locking down what has internet/cell access. It uses VPN, so if you already use that it won't work, for only 1 VPN can run at a time.

I've tested many fdroid launchers and the best one for me is kvaesito, good customization and stable; in the past I always used KISS since I liked that experience but it feels a little dated todays, and kvaesito can replicate it pretty good.

It will have minimal impact on anything. Good you are starting with something.
Give octopi launcher a try. It's the best one I tried so far.
E/os reports 0 trackers.
I pretty happy with this: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.eblan.launcher/ It have all i need, also double click to lock screen. No need to use any hardware buttons. Also easy on battery and have enough of customisation.
