I've used AnySoftKeyboard for ages as it's infinitely customizable while also fully respects privacy. But it does take time to dial in every component. I give the Graphene keyboard a go every now and again, but AnySoftKeyboard is still my go to.

I have it installed, but miss some minor features. Swipe left to delete, to begin with. Hold to move cursor. Such small quality of life features. Or am I missing them?

As of 2019, the swipe to delete was an option labeled "Back-word" but a name change was being discussed. There's also an option to move the cursor after holding the space bar too, just not sure of the name but it should be somewhere in the settings.
