[disclaimer: I have been away from TMO for over half a year and just learned about ReadyFx]

There won’t be any weird backdoor apps and the majority of apps will come direct from Google.
Nonsense. You're contradicting yourselves. If you include Google Play Services, then you have just included weird backdoor apps. I don't want to have that thing on my phone.

I do understand that the average Joe wants the GMS and it's a valid commercial choice to include them by default.

I really think that Fairphone really got that thing right. By default Fairphone ships with a GMS-enabled version of Android, but there's also an official free-software ROM to flash.
Alternatively, you could just provide an extra flashable zip to flash on top of the free-software ROM to <s>up</s>downgrade it to the GMS-enabled version, the way LineageOS does it.

Maybe ReadyFx could also go that way?
