Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?
I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.
What’s native call recording? Like call recording with the default phone app?
I use ACR Phone by “NLL APPS” in the play store. They have you download their app store to download their ACR Helper app to run in the background, which allows the recording. But the quality of the other end’s sound is based on your in-call volume. So after the call starts, I have to ensure the volume is turned all the way up. It doesn’t have to be on speaker.
I haven’t needed to root, or else I’d have trouble getting on certain mobile games that check my phone for root.
Native call recording, as in included in the built in caller app. I think that’s the only way to record calls properly on Android after Google killed the APIs that could be used to make call recording apps before.
My FP3 on /e/OS (based on lineage) has native recording. The phone passes safetynet check, i believe due to microG. However, some apps consider the bootloader unlocked so YMMV.
Does it pass all of these?

That app doesn’t work as it needs some play API which I guess is not implemented in microG. I am guessing not all of them are passed though.
GrapheneOS has native call recording without root. I haven’t used it in six or eight months, but it worked last time I tried it.
GrapheneOS has the problem as LineageOS.
Is it possible to automatically record all calls? And is it easy to copy all the resulting files off the phone?
That I can’t tell you. My Graphene phone broke and I’m using a Googled phone at present (bleh).
I checked Graphene’s features page, but this was all I could find:
Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).
I don’t make many calls, but I have observed the custom ROM I use, ArrowOS, has native screen and audio recording, so perhaps it also has call recording functions, and even if not, I imagine the screen/audio recording could be used for that purpose too.
LineageOS has native call recording.
The problem is that even without rooting, the Android integrity checks fail. Google is slowly closing the Android platform.
