I haven’t really kept up with android stuff for a while, but it looks like a handful of recent FOSS apps are using Shizuku for cool functionality. The new SDMaid uses it, and so do apps like Lemmy Redirect. In the list of apps, there’s also F-Droid, but I don’t really know what that’s for just yet.

What is it, and how does it work? Does it allow you to do anything you could otherwise need a Rooted device for? In that sense, is it unsafe / something Google will try to block in the future?
