Does a launcher need network access at all?
I have disabled network for this app now. Let's see what happens.
It doesn't. I've also disabled network access to Nova years ago (GrapheneOS FTW). I'm gonna go ahead and disable updates for Nova and try to fully commit to switching to Lawnchair.
I can report now: it complains once every morning that it has no network access. But no further problems.
