Could MicroG be used?

Hi, as far as I know, MicroG needs Signature spoofing which, in turn, needs root.
there are versions of microG that only installs by apk, such as the one for youtube vanced
would that work? (actually i was researching huawei club forum and saw some chinese users successfully installed it onto their M6, which also didnt have GMS)

Youtube can work.
You need to install VirtualXposed then in it's settings choose Install Google Services.
https://github.com/android-hacker/VirtualXposed/releases
Now you can install MicroG and the non-root version of Youtube Vanced app inside VirtualXposed - Xposed icon - Modules.

More info

You can also install the MicroG apps manually.
It seems the core app here is newer than the one automatically installed by VirtualXposed.
https://microg.org/download.html
Also remember to activate the FakeGapps module inside the Xposed icon.
Google Maps should also work but not login.
Streaming apps should also work that rely on Safetynet.
If a streaming app uses advanced Safetynet checks, you can install the Hijack Suite module in VirtualXposed and it will fake your device's info and Safetynet will pass in some cases.
VirtualXposed doesn't need an unlocked bootloader or a rooted device and can support fake signature permissions which MicroG needs so you can run it.
I think there are some problems with the latest MicroG core app v0.2.8 or VirtualXposed but it should be fixed soon I hope.
You can use UptoDown, Amazon or APKPure app stores.
They work well.
UptoDown is very lean and can also be installed in VirtualXposed.

APKPure has all the apps available on Google Play except paid apps.

Same here, but i guess we did nothing wrong but the war between huawei and usa...
You can only have one Microg installed.
Try the one from VirtualXposed.
Not sure if Vanced Youtube can work.
For Youtube try Skytube, Newpipe or SmartYoutubeTV instead.
