apkmirror.com, sadly aurora might be the only option for the Google store as a app. Otherwise try F-Droid if you haven't already.

Google bans new acounts that never used in official playstore before
Use a spare gmail acount that you have also used with playstore
Anonymus logins also get rate limits or get banned
As for alternative
App lounge from /e/ OS uses auroraOSS Gstore api to download from playstore so it's basically like using aurora
Other than that the are Python scripts you could use on termux but those also need a proper gmail account
Same apply to linux/windows programs available
I always used my "normal" google account in Aurora also been using this account with microg since ages Never had an issue I don't care if the account gets banned though.
Maybe appkmirror is the only other "sane" option.
Get a number from a service like smspool and create a burner Google account to log in to Aurora Store. It's the only way for Aurora to work reliably.
I am using aptoide.
Non libre, ads, most likely spies on me, maybe a miner.
But there's nothing else.

Why did I picture you crying as you go to install adventure capitalist knowing that the store is injecting malware and mining crypto as you do it
