You can use most banking apps on GrapheneOS but a subset block using any alternate OS. GrapheneOS supports hardware attestation and some banking apps explicitly permit GrapheneOS via hardware attestation such as Swissquote which recently added it. Banking app compatibility on GrapheneOS is better than any other alternate OS due to some apps choosing to special case allowing it.

My only concern is this: Android phones I tried to root so far will be "tainted" if I unlock the bootloader and can never go back to a state where it passes all checks.

I'm okay with losing access to Google wallet while using Graphene os (I can just use plain old credit cards), but I would like to have the option to revert it in the future.

Pixel devices don't have anything like the Samsung Knox eFuse, which blows after running a third-party bootloader.

There's no such thing for Pixels, and it also doesn't void the manufacturer warranty.
