Speaking of Bluetooth, if you manage to figure out this one, it is probably the biggest blocker for me I've had from being able to fully move to Linux + LineageOS via Waydroid: the ability to share Bluetooth with both the Linux host and Waydroid simultaneously like you can with many other IO. Not sure if NFC has this same issue.
