Using randomized MAC on my phone's, and observing the behavior on my network. It works fine, the router can't assign a ip to the device because the physical address changes. The os fingerprinting still works, the gateway knows what kind of device it's talking to.
Android? How do I force it to use a random Mac every time? It pins a random Mac to a given network, which greatly reduces privacy between sessions.
Developer settings for newer androids.
GOS has it on by default https://grapheneos.org/features#wifi-privacy
How do I install this on non-Graphene OS?

Eh, I tried it. It doesn't work. Even the option says that it "may" change the mac on reconnect.
What android are you running?
