Band 5 is used in one city in South Carolina, so let's ignore that one. Not having band 12 is basically making the phone worthless these days, and not having 66 or 71 is getting worse and worse by the day as the deployment rolls out.
So yeah, that Nexus 5 is going to give major issues on the network now. If you want something cheap and without bloat, look for a Nokia with Android One. Nexus experience, pretty much.

Another option would be the Essential Phone, which is a bit older, but was a flagship 2 years ago and have a stock Android feel.

I tried posting on /r/pickanandroidforme but didn't get any responses.
I don't particularly need a new phone, but I've got a bonus coming and itching for an upgrade. Thing is, I don't want to drop $500-800 (or more) so I was considering a refurbished 1-2 year old phone.
Is it worth spending $250-300 on something like a Pixel 2, or an Essential. Other options I might consider?
Again I'm not looking for a night-and-day upgrade from the S7. Just a little bump to keep me current(ish). In the US, on T-Mobile.
You might get random calls or texts from people you don’t know from the previous owner of the number.
Have you decided which sub $200 phone you are going to go with? You might want to look at a used or new Essential Ph-1 Used (Amazon)|Renewed by Amazon. After software updates it’s a pretty good phone from what I hear. Other than that, you may want to look at either new Motorola’s (Amazon) or a used LG G6/G7/V20/V30 or even a used Samsung Galaxy S7 or S8 Used S8(Amazon)|Renewed S8(Amazon).
