That's it. Would you recommended any other repository?

This is a good approach. I would not even use Izzy's repo shown by OP (at least not on a daily driver device - great for testing newer apps I'm sure) because I don't see it as advantageous to get updates so quickly or access to apps that are not yet (or will never be) fully open source.

Basically I see most of the value of F-Droid in their build server and official repo. So I only add repos with a very short list of apps, like microg and KDE.

I can always install the odd apk manually, or use Aurora store (preferably in the work profile)

Yeah. F-droid's defaults for me have always worked well, and if I want a specific app to be up to date, I'll download it right from the devs (Shattered Pixel)

But the IzzyOnDroid repo is getting the apps right from the devs too, no?

Idk. I'm not against izzy, just don't want to have to check which repo an app is in browsing fdroid
