Awesome work! I had the same issues with GA, but decided to go with Matomo (Piwik). It's an Open Source, self-hosted alternative to Analytics. So far I couldn't be more impressed!
Have you heard of Fathom Analytics? Maybe it meets your needs.https://usefathom.com
Piwik is free and does everything GA does. You can self host the analytics dashboard so no 3rd party privacy issues.
why not just use google analytics and be done with it?
