Google's next-gen reCAPTCHA system could spell trouble for de-Googled phones

Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.
Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.
This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.

Would MicroG suffice in this case?

If not, how about Sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS?
