Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they're all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher ...but open source.

Been using Neo Launcher since Nova sold out. Yes, it can format icon shapes.
Hmm, the first review on the Play store says it serves ads and has annoying popups. That's too bad, because it looks cool, but there's zero chance I'll install an ad delivery network as my phone launcher.
Well, it's not released in the Play store so you're likely looking at a clone or something else.
If I remember correctly they got bought out by an analytics company at some point. So you know, ads and data collection.
Big fan of Nova, but it's wonky under Android 14... So I switched to the Lawnchair alpha. Icons can be square, rounded, circle, Squircle... I like it!
i used to use lawnchair and tested kiss for a friend who never used smartphone before. old school. i played for few hours and kept using it myself.
widgets: clock, jtx board tasks and simple calendar pro. the rest of the home is the empty space for gestures, favorites bar/line and search.

kiss after a while disappears as the launcher should. i stopped thinking about launchers. but remember it swiftly once the discussion about launchers start. obviously.

It can! You can also download icon packs to change your icons with different styles (e.g. a minimal version of your apps design)
It's a closed source luancher on Google Play. It works really well, but the developer recently sold out according to someone in this thread and it now contains trackers according to the Exodus app.
The lynx launcher has been my go to, they advertise as "Sleek - Fast - Unobtrusive" and have zero trackers according to Exodus. Not 100% if they're FOSS but I love the launcher and here's their website: https://www.lynxlauncher.de/
Niagara. Full disclosure: it's the first and only one I've tried.
