I’m happy it works flawless for you man, and I’m sure on official Lineage builds which are as close as possible to AOSP things work exactly as you say.
I have an unofficial Lineage 18 ROM patched to hell to work with my old phone. All I can do is tell you what I see, and what I see is that when my phone tries to play a 720p or higher video, with an impossibly high bit-rate for the phone, the phone starts to aggressively background-kill apps, and that includes my VPN.
Again, happy it works for you, and I agree that in principle the default route should point to nothing if the VPN dies. On my device, when the virtual network device of the VPN goes down, it drops to the default network and finds another gateway.
In theory, yes. In practice, I can definitely tell you that the kill-switch service gets killed too, despite whatever level of niceness it’s assigned.

I’m not going to dox myself but I can tell you that it’s a near daily occurrence for me on Lineage 18 (Android 11) on my phone with 2GB RAM.
Here is a related issue from 10 months ago, for an android TV device:
