>without AMP we get downranked in Google

Whether a site used AMP did not affect ranking in Google.

You're either uninformed or splitting hairs about what "downranked" means. Google required AMP in order to be featured in the "Top Stories" carousel that was (unsurprisingly) at the top of the results page. Google ended this requirement in mid 2021, https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/28/google_amp_core_web_v...

I'm talking about search rankings and not what appears in the OneBox.

Doesn't really matter. Google directed clicks to the AMP sites in various ways, including the OneBox. Most sites which need ad revenue had no choice but to adopt AMP.

Ranking is a closely held secret. Non AMP COULD have a negative impact. Let marketing try and get confirmation from Google that it does not.
