Can I flash another region ROM?

[Krasa77]

I have the IDXM version of the phone and it's still on miui 12.0.1.0

Is it possible to flash the EEA version or will it bootloop?

Yes, but don't lock bootloader. If you lock it chances are it will brick your device, as it did on previous phones... So choose clean all option in miflash, not clean & lock!

I bought the EEA version of the phone but wanted the Global version .

This morning I used the Mi Tool v2 to convert to Global with no issues,
It even works on locked bootloader,
The tool is quite intuitive and lets you convert to all different regions.
I believe you only run into issues with Chinese phones and ROMs but could be wrong.
It did stop at 4.99% for a while when applying the ROM but after few mins it flew.
You also need to back up your data as it will be lost

I tried to cross flash from Global to ID but it didn't work.

Worked for me on Redmi Note 10S. But maan, was it scary... It got stuck on 5% as yours but also the pushed file size went past 100%, resulting in negative 300s ETA...
Having had bricked devices using only stock utilities (and not even unlocking BL), that scared the crap out of me.

Also it gave en error after the process actually finished (at 6,7GB out of 2,4), but the phone was already running global version of MIUI just fine.
