There are other authenticator apps out there, so another option is just to use one of them. Certainly some of them have better security features than Google: password/biometric locking of the app, encrypted backups, that sort of thing.
As it happens a major international lab I work at actively discourages use of Google Authenticator for 2FA precisely because of Google's unencrypted cloud syncing of keys, the same reason you don't want to turn the cloud connection on.
