Many free roms such as CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, iodéOS include Seedvault.

I've even successfully migrated between those. Some settings or pre-installed apps might be different, so you should check your settings, but all apps will be there. In my case only the banking app wanted me to log in again, seems to verify some sort of device identifier.
