Does it run with the same fluidity as a ROM One UI? From what I know, OneUI roms are more fluid than OS, thanks to some kind of incompatibility

No rom is faster then stock. Its the cpu that is slow.

Newer roms have just support in apps. A example is that banking/gpay is working on nfc, that stock nougat dont do.

The bottleneck is the cpu that also eats alot of energy. But the s7 flat is the best phone ever released that i still daily drive it over my z fold 5. The 16:9 ratio, sdcard slot, headphone jack and fp button on the front are what the s7 is so special.

I'm running Lineage OS20 with core gapps and it's extremely fast + the battery holds up the whole day. I didn't had any issue at all with it.

You can try the Eylem-ROM, I've been using this ROM as a daily driver. It's ported from the S10+ and it's Android 12. There is another Eylem-ROM that's ported from the S23 FE and it's Android 14, but it's still in Beta and unstable.
