I have recently unlocked the bootloader of one xiaomi phone and it was kinda annoying imo, you basically have to wait (7 days I think, or more) when using the official unlocker of the xiaomi website for them to unlock the bootloader (without it you can’t degoogle the phone).
There is a lot more telemetry then usual, its China + google that are collecting all your data instead of just google if it was a pixel phone for example. The good side is that there is support for custom roms like lineageOS and its derivatives but I would much rather pick a pixel and put grapheneOS in it if the price wasnt a issue or if you could grab one second-handed.
Besides that, I guess if I was buying regardless I would try unlock the bootloader and install the a custom rom like lineageOS as fast as possible.
