Wouldn't it be better to replace the full rom at this point? You trust other parts but not the dialer?
What I'm trying to say, if you think your built in dialer is a spyware, it's very likely other components of the rom could be spyware as well, and you don't gain too much by replacing only this component.
Rather unfortunately, my phone doesn't have good custom ROM support, but I generally don't have a problem re: worrying about spyware for a few reasons:
That said, I'm happy to hear that LineageOS is still a thing! I was using it many years ago, and I'm sure it's only gotten better since then.
