Say I have Google Camera installed with network permissions revoked. Say I also install Play Services which does have network access. Would Google Camera be able to share data about my pictures to Play Services which would then phone home to Google?

Yea I have heard of that too. Unfortunately I don’t know what other Camera app I would use. Open Camera has a good amount of features but I can’t stand the UI, and the GrapheneOS camera is very bare bones. I have tried some other proprietary camera apps but none of them seem to be as good as Gcam and for obvious reasons.
Ultimately, it depends on if it is an issue in terms of your threat model. I have noproblems with people using some proprietary tools. Sometimes you do need things to just work, unfortunately.
