Before I buy another Roku, are there any options for a streaming box/stick that run FOSS? A foss derivitive of android TV would be nice if that exists, ideally preloaded on an inexpensive and compact piece of hardware.

No, you turn off apps from unknown sources, then you download Downloader. You can then use Downloader to download apps from any internet url. You can do this all from the Firestick’s home screen.

Here is a sample tutorial:
