GrapheneOS is targeting the release of Android Q as the starting point for truly reviving the project. Only a fraction of the past privacy/security work has been ported to Android Pie, largely because it made more sense to wait for momentum to pick up before diving back into it.

are automatic upgrades already implemented into GrapheneOS? also is it possible to manualy install the basic Google stuff over it (store/services/framework)?

Yes, there have been automatic updates from the release of the project. See grapheneos.org/usage and grapheneos.org/releases for details. There's not much documentation on the site at this point but it covers this.

No, those aren't regular apps. You can use Aurora Store to access the Play Store and GrapheneOS / CalyxOS are collaborating to fill in the gaps left by not having Play Services.

I am already using Aurora store, but I'm afraid a few crucial apps wouldn't work without Google Services. mostly (90%) I am already using apps from F-Droid but there are some exceptions (banking/paying, WhatsApp, Viber...). switching to GrapheneOS however is my goal..
