Lineage based is fine, I was on 15.1 official , then switched to Aex with same twrp with no problem whatsoever.

Lineage based causes issue with formatting data many a times. But in my case if u first change data to ext4 ,then wipe data then all is fine.
But users have also reported bootloops and decryption issues with formatting data with LOS twrp. So for safety, formatting data with official twrp is best but in my case former worked for me.

I couldn't get the Lineage OS TWRP to work as it couldn't mount the data partition even though it re-formated it to ext4.
Official TWRP worked first time.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
