Regarding profiles, having two is generally recommended - your main profile with no Google services, and a secondary profile only for apps that absolutely require Google Play Services. Personally, I just dump everything in one profile and deny nearly every permission to anything Google, and on top of the sandboxing that's enough of an improvement over stock Android that I don't bother with two profiles.
Isn't a 2nd profile unnecessary due to sandboxed Google Play Services?
Yeah I have 2 profiles but I gave up and started using everything in one profile
