I just archived the app anyway, just in case I need it in the future:

1. I used the open source google play store app to anonymously install 
   <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.nikolasspyr.integritycheck>

2. I used the open source Muntashirakon App Manager to save the split APKs
    /storage/emulated/0/AppManager/apks/Play Integrity API Checker_2.2.apks

3. When I run the play integrity api checker it reports
    (red) meets_basic_integrity
  (green) meets_device_integrity
    (red) meets_strong_integrity

This implies Google feels my device is physically secure (Green Device
Integrity) but it doesn't like my degoogling efforts (Red Basic Integrity).

Luckily, apparently, most apps only require meets_device_integrity.
