I want to go google-less, but I do have paid apps from google play that I must sign in to download.

Anything you "purchase" on the Play store is more of a rental.

With that being said you could look into MicroG and Aurora store. It may work it may not

I am using MicroG which works fine, I have tried Aurora, but wont recognize paid apps (have the option to purchase again).
