Is there an easy way to revert if I don’t like Graphene OS? I’m concerned about it being potentially annoying with too many paranoid settings making the UX inconvenient. How’s the UI/UX on graphene?

You won't want to return to the Google plantation
UX is clean AOSP and you wont want to go back
I believe reverting isn't all that hard. But honestly UX/UI is the same as vanilla Android. Most of the paranoia is system level while also sandboxing apps with tunable permissions.
2 things that definitely don't work, that I haven't really needed/can do without:
1. No Android Auto
2. Google pay/Wallet/NFC card payments
Who needs Google pay when we have Bitcoin + Lightning?
You won't go back, it's very well designed. The settings are optional and do not get in your way. You can choose to go full surveillance if you wish by installing Google Play Services
Yeah switching back is just as easy as installing graphene initially.
The way we do it is you take a cold shower, watch Rambo first blood, then you always go forward, no steps back. Freedom!!!
It's great. I was worried too but have been pleasently surprised.
Reverting is easy but the UI/UX is simple. A new Android user might not know it's not stock.
It has the settings defaulted to more secure. One thing I relaxed in the settings is stopped it from spoofing a new MAC address on my home LAN every time I came home.
with sandboxed Google play services I experience no issue. the o.s is much simpler and clear
can always revert back to original o.s
Convenience is for amateurs
