What will happen to my phone? Will it crash as soon as I uninstall it? Can I have Android but not Play Services?

Should I use MicroG? If yes, where do I download it? I can use Brevent to uninstall Play Services, but I'm quite wary of such a choice.

the Disable isn't avaliable, I can't even search for Play Services on my phone. But I can use Brevent to uninstall it.
