If you want long term support, it would be better to just flash lineageos 18.1 it comes with the Android AOSP11 built in. You can choose to flash it with openGapps 11 or for the degoogled minded peeps flash MicroG for.replacement of the Google API’s, which are needed to just run any Android derived phone or tablet. Anyway, the ease of use and the ability to always connect android hardware onto Debian Linux machines, make hard bricking virtually impossible. Just remember that a phone without an OS, is actually a paperweight with a bootloader, programmed to communicate with adb and\or fastboot. Flashing TWRP always works, also flashing a recovery file directly from the commandline should work. But always remember to wipe ALL Data before flashing (of any kind).
