Should i uninstall updates and disable google play services and google freamework services in my bloated phone for improved privacy ? Does it worth it ? Is google play services just a service/library for other apps to work or a spyware ?

It won't hurt to try disabling both of them! Watch for non-functional notifications, make sure the most crucial apps in your arsenal work, see what happens.
