So it's not added functionality that LineageOS provides, it's added confidence. Yes you would lose handwriting ability and if that is important to you then it wouldn't make sense to install Lineage. In my case I use a Boox Max Lumi connected to a keyboard and it would be a dream to have LineageOS on it.
If you are concerned about ur privacy you can use vpn and private dns. As far as using banking apps on Hisense a9 with lineageos you are still using it via hideprops and other workarounds.which can be done with stock rom also.

I have multiple boox devices and have checked its internet activities using private dns, it doesn’t acccess any other sites like Hisense a9 which had 3rd party code baked in their phone os.

So, for Hisense a9 it makes sense to have lineageos to remove those 3rd party crap but boox isn’t like it.

Also, with lineageos on a9 still not eink experience like stock rom.
