Part of their whole point is to have a full GNU/Linux stack.
(Though they might support andbox by the time the device ships).
On the other hand, as the device is supposed to be full open-source and supported by stock vanilla linux,
and all the weird parts (3G/4G modem, GPS, etc.) only being isolated in separate chips only talking over standard protocols (serial, network), it should be almost trivial for anyone in the LineageOS community to port it to the Librem5.
All the rest you're hoping fore (no DMA access granted to the modem, free drivers everywhere, etc.) is exactly what they aim for, and why they stay with i.MX8 SoCs instead of the latest shiny from Qualcomm.
