I’m considering flashing my Xperia with this, since Sony officially supports it and my stock ROM stopped getting updates.
Any thoughts? Is there something I should consider before doing this? Do you have a better alternative? If so, why?

You can just flash NikGapps after flashing the ROM (EDIT: I am not sure if the SONY’s flashing tool will allow you to do such things) to get Google services working. But if you want to pass the Play integrity and SafetyNet checks you will also have to root. It is a bit of a paradox that you have to root to pass these checks (maybe there’s a non-root solution I am not aware of, but I doubt that). For me the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module from chiteroman works well (Lineage OS v21). It just has to be updated once in a while.
