> Not having root prevents me from taking proper backups that include app data

You can handle this better without root. GrapheneOS includes SeedVault per default for example.

GrapheneOS is security+privacy first and "enabling root" compromises on this. Thats why its not recommended.





As I'm sure you're aware, SeedVault won't backup app data if the app authors have opted out of it. Again, this is an example of a system serving masters other than the device's owner.
