For me this is nonnegotiable, I have plenty of family and friends that I'm in group RCS chats and it's unreasonable to expect other people to confirm to your privacy expectations. I limit non-Signal chats when possible, but in many cases it's either RCS or miss important conversations with family and friends

Totally understood. It wasnt a deal-breaker for me, but I can see how it would be for others. 

I've seen on the grapheneOS discuss boards that some people have gotten it to work, but none of their fixes have worked for me.

I am on T-Mobile and up until this weekend it was definitely broken. People had temporary workarounds but nothing seemed to stick. This weekend a new build was released with a specific setting that provides the ability to use RCS on T-Mobile (and I think At&t is fixed too)

It worked! I'll update my original comment! Thank you again!

I'm on AT&T so I will definitely try it! 

Thank you!

Did not see your other comments, glad it worked for you!

2 quirks I found that were easily fixed, not sure if you will find them handy:

  • Weather app automatic locations doesn't work --> enable geocoder in settings > location > location services
  • Google maps location lock doesn't work until leaving parking garages --> settings > location > location services > network location
