If you mean apps that allow you to restrict permissions of other Apps, there's App Ops, it works with Shizuku
You can do some customization with adb/Shizuku but for some things you might need root. But I would definitely value security over customizability.
The OS can do that pretty well
GrapheneOS has a built-in firewall that you can use to block network access to any app on the system.
You can do that with DNS services like NextDNS
GrapheneOS has a built-in backup solution
When I was talking about "battery charging", I meant using an app to limit the charging at a certain level: look for "acca" or simple "acc" which is the module/daemon to manage that. You have to be root to do that and there is no way around. For the rest, sure, but that's for GrapheneOS, I was talking in general, most ROM not having what GrapheneOS has and considering GrapheneOS is exclusively present on Pixel phones unfortunately...
