To my knowledge Android TV isn’t any more proprietary than standard Android. The only really proprietary code are the Google Play Services (and Widevine).
Do you mean this konstaKang-Image? LineageOS for the RaspberryPi, I tried that and it works quite ok. A bit sluggish maybe.
LineageOS is an open source project build around the pure open source Android. And the konstaKang-Image is also an open source project, although with a weird license. But they have nothing to do with Android TV, as far as I know.
You can install Android TV on a Raspberry Pi 3, 4 and 5: https://konstakang.com/
Maybe you happen to have one and can try it out.
Does it also include 3b+?
It’s not specifically mentioned here, but I would assume so.
Edit: Sorry, they don’t offer a Android TV build for any RPi3 at all. 4 and 5 only.
Not recommended as you have to trust this guy completely
Worth mentioning: Android TV is proprietary and developed by Google. As far as privacy goes it is as bad as any wish.com-android-solution.

If there’s no source code for ATV, how can there be (unofficial) LineageOS builds of ATV? Genuine question
