Organic Maps is also available via https://accrescent.app/ which is developed by a GrapheneOS community member and even hosted in the GrapheneOS App Store.

Accrescent is a private and secure Android app store built with modern features in mind. It aims to provide a developer-friendly platform and pleasant user experience while enforcing modern security and privacy practices and offering robust validity guarantees for installed apps.

Accrescent comes from within the GrapheneOS community and we're collaborating together.

Just get it from F-droid and be done with it.

Or "just get it from Accrescent and be done with it?" Are you implying if you get it from Accrescent, you're somehow not done with it? Sorry, I don't follow your logic.

Also, no thanks on F-Droid as GrapheneOS recommends against and there are multiple security issues:

F-Droid has far too many security and trust issues for us to recommend it. The vast majority of apps in the official F-Droid repository are built on their sketchy infrastructure and signed with their own keys. We're concerned about a future mass compromise of F-Droid users.

That's old info. Apps are now signed by the developers on F-Droid since about a year ago:

but now with reproducible builds F-Droid ships APKs that are signed by the upstream developer(s).

EDIT: I should note this doesn't address the other issues in your second link (I have twitter blocked, can't see that link) but it does fix the primary issue of the apps originally not being signed by the developer.
