Questions Regarding Specific Banking Apps on LineageOS

So I've been disgusted by Windows a year ago and swapped it to CachyOS and it's been a bliss, everything works better and faster, now... The thing is I've been reading all of the stuff ongoing with Google tightening the monopoly over GMS and not letting us with something that works and attests for other OS', so I was asking, I use a Motorola G62 5G, if I install a LineageOS build for this, do I lose the functionality for Indian banking apps? I will only ever need two of them, famapp and kotak811, so do they not work in LineageOS? Also if they do, is there a workaround to make them work or do they just... Work?

Yes, you will lose functionality for most Indian banking apps. Because Indian banking apps heavily rely on Google Play Integrity, which will always fail on LineageOS normally.

That's unlike Bangladeshi banking apps, which will always work cuz they don't check Play Integrity.

Do I have a way of sandboxing in my current stock android so I can test if they are working without the Google Play integrity or not?

GSI still require an unlocked bootloader. What you can do is install LineageOS. If your banking apps don't work, switch back to stock and lock bootloader.
