In Hisense A9 Pro E-Ink Android SmartphoneF-Droid is one of the first apps I install when I get a new phone. That said, I usually just use the F-Droid app to install an alternate client (yes, I could download clients manually...).
There's Neo Store[0] which is a fork of Droid-ify[1] which itself is a fork of Foxy Droid[2] (no longer updated). Personally I use Neo Store, includes more repos by default and can auto update apps.

In New F-Droid repository format for faster and smaller updatesAdding to the list of things that you can do with root on Android:
- App Manager[1] has a powerful feature that lets you disable trackers in every single app on the device. (Menu > 1-Click Ops > Block/unblock trackers)
- Neo Backup[2] is the most comprehensive backup app on Android, with automatic scheduling. It lets you back up and restore anything you want, including app data that the developer labeled "no_backup".
- Install and upgrade apps from third-party app stores without needing to manually confirm each installation. Extremely useful for Aurora Store[3] and Neo Store.[4]
- Universal SafetyNet Fix,[5] combined with MagiskHide Props Config[6] and Magisk,[7] allows you to spoof SafetyNet on your device to improve compatibility with apps that check for it, including some banking apps, commerce apps, and games.

without Clockwork Mod on many platforms, eschewing security updates
I have no problem trusting Magisk[7] as a free and open source Android rooting solution.
ClockworkMod Recovery has been discontinued for years. The most advanced Android recovery is TWRP,[8] and TWRP is not needed to root the device with Magisk.
I don't know what you mean by "eschewing security updates" since rooting Android does not prevent you from receiving security updates.

Aurora Droid was great, but it hasn't been updated since March 2021. I prefer Neo Store:
