So there actually is a lot missing. Thanks for summarizing it @AppLee !

I guess I wouldn't be ready to switch just yet, but I'll try it out on an old unused phone just for the kicks.

I'm new to UBPorts. I love the idea, and I've seen that I can use anbox to install android apps without dual booting, and it's supposed to be fast because it's not using an emulation layer (anyone have benchamarks on native android performance vs anbox on ubports on same phone hardware?)

But I'm wondering, are there some major kinks yet to be worked out? What will I miss when switching from android? Is the kernel able to work well with the SoC to optimize for both battery life and performance (e.g. using low-power cores when necessary, etc)?

Does calling / SMS work in all countries (and all across 2G / 3G / VoLTE / VoWifi / 5G)? Can all sensors and hardware on board be utilized (or are there driver issues? Do anbox apps have full access to hardware (e.g. say if I want to use OEM's camera app)?

Apart from hardware compatibility issues, are there fundamental deficiencies which are not yet addressed?

I'm planning to slap UBPorts onto somewhat expensive capable hardware (like a oneplus model from 1-3 years ago), and before I take on that endavour I'd just like to know that I'm not doing something stupid.
