How about MySudo? Not quite as private but it’s not the phone number that’s been sold into every data broker’s existing profile on you. For low- to medium-level privacy needs I find it does the trick (and works for a fair number of 2FA. Haven’t tried PayPal or meta with it though…

MySudo is VoIP so it will have the same issues, and I already have a few privacy-respecting JMP Chat XMPP numbers for personal, burner, and business. I'll probably go back to Google Fi for my front facing main mobile number. It's not as private as silent link promised to be for 2FA, but I already have a privacy.com virtual card on GP, so I can still keep my debit card info protected. They have good coverage at reasonable prices, and the 2FA will be bulletproof.
