Easily done with ADB. Though quite a few apps won't work properly afterwards, especially notifications and embedded maps.

Try GrapheneOS or any other similar custom ROM.

GOS is an example for Pixels, there are other custom ROMs that support more hardware.
Graphene will run on all Pixels I think. They don't make a distinction on their website.
For other phones, Lineage is a great alternative OS if a phone is bootloader unlockable and there's a build for it.
But not uninstalling Google Play itself.
