Research direction

Start by tracing the Android 4.4 failure at CreatorImpl.initV2 and the missing org.microg.gms.maps.mapbox.model.BitmapDescriptorFactoryImpl class. Compare the maps implementation in the reported microG version with the older version that worked. Done means map initialization no longer raises NoClassDefFoundError on Android 4.4.
