What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.
It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

Or make an EU app store that can verify certain apps (such as banking) so we can ditch google

I would much rather European companies ported their applications and services to a non-Google/non-ASOP platform. Having native e-government and applications would be a solid addition to make something like Sailfish OS more usable. This is one area where European and Asian countries are way ahead of the US, things like e-govermernt (parts of Europe), simple and no/very low fee mobile payment systems (parts of Europe, India's UPI system).
