Can I install/update my bank apps, and pay with my phone? That's the bare minimum I need to switch to a deGoogled OS.

Solely depends on your banking app. If it requires Safety Net, you need to flash gapps on any ROM, or have a microg preflashed version.

Btw, i only need to hold my MasterCard on the card read and enter a pin if over 70 CHF. This isn't common?

The OS includes microG which has a SafetyNet implementation

A safetynet impl. that will fail your device on even the most basic integrity check. You don't need safetynet """Implementation""" you need a safetynet pass

Just because contactless exists doesn't mean that you wouldn't want the ability to pay with your phone.
