Not sure when this happened but lately it seems that even when Google Play Services has Sensors persmissions granted, compass/directional location in Google Maps doesn't work when Location is routed through OS.
It seems to me (and this may be an incorrect conclusion) that compass needs to also be routed through the OS and not left to Google Play Services to handle.
I didn't want to make this a new issue because I'm basically asking for the same thing as OP. Please let me know if I can do anything to help testing/verifying/reproducing the issue.

This was fixed in GmsCompat Version 108. Thank you! https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_packages_apps_GmsCompat/releases/tag/config-108
The original enhancement request still stands as far as I can tell.
Yes, the original request is still relevant and it's planned.
Navigation apps may also use sensors for inertial tracking and live compass. Right now, compass and inertial tracking doesn't work if Play Services are denied sensors permissions. To reproduce:
You won't see live compass
