Given the dog's breakfast of sensor and lens configurations and diverging implementations of Camera2 API, Android has made it very difficult to recommend third party apps. Some to try for compatibility:

Snap Camera HDR (must pay to move from Play Store version 8.78 to the more capable current "beta" 8.10.x) will save RAW for each HDR exposure and freely sets number and delay for HDR stacks.  Also has a fast HDR "Night mode".

Camera FV-5 (again, need to pay to upgrade to unreleased version 5.x) but has good shutter speed control and RAW, not so HDR-oriented. Go to for manual settings on my Moto phone.

Interestingly, some GCam ports by developer Cstark27 include experimental manual Shutter, Exposure, and ISO sliders in the extra settings - and no idea if these third-party ports can work on a real Pixel device.
