Hi kemtiq
This can not be confirmed until the official MIUI with Android Q release (if ever), that would be long after the stable version of Q release date.
GSI images are just the system, in order to interact with the underlying hardware, GSI system images need a compatible firmware (the vendor partition, provided by stock MIUI)
In the past I have experimented with several different system+vendor combinations, eg. Oreo MIUI vendor+phhson pie system. In this case there's a notice of updating Android on the first boot, and MTP doesn't work. I didn't test further, thinking the Oreo vendor must be incompatible with pie system, and switched to official pie MIUI vendor with pie system.
As a speculation, if Xiaomi didn't further develop q based MIUI for our phone, we will need someone to develop a working q vendor in order to get q system working.(and the security patches entirely relying on the third party developer)
That, IMHO, would be the same as developing a device specific third party ROM
The problem is, there aren't many people using this phone around on XDA, since this phone is neither a flagship, nor officially released outside China.
