From @gannimo:

We could have a thin thin thin interposition layer. That, when initialization happens, checks if these GAEN APIs are available using reflection. If they are not available, go for our implementation.
Consider this a "nice to have" not a "must", so low priority for now I guess.
I'm curious if it's possible though.

This had partly been discussed with the microG people early on. It is however unclear whether such an app would be allowed on Google Play.

On the technical side, some pointers for dynamically loading code:

Regarding Google Play Developer Program Policy:

(...) an app may not download executable code (e.g. dex, JAR, .so files) from a source other than Google Play. (...)

Assuming the code to load dynamically would be bundled with the app, that may be allowed.
