No you won't lose your personal data, and yes you can still receive OTAs.

Do you think there is any chance of getting the higher refresh rate mods working with this rom at all? TIA

I'm a little confused with the instructions, Following instruction number 1 and 2, I need to check for the OTA update and then press install button but I don't see any install or update button as there is no OTA update available right now. am I missing something?

The instructions are to maintain root when new OTAs arrive!
For now you don't need to refer them!

Sorry for my noob question but
to root my device all I have to do is Unlock the bootloader, install magisk manager apk and select the direct install option from magisk app. right?

You need to unlock the bootloader first, then install magisk manager and flash the patched boot image via fastboot mode.

okay got it, is there any twrp port available for this specific device as if I'm not wrong the other guide available for Root and Recovery is for the device "Raphael". Thank you very much for your precious time.

No device specific port is not yet available, I had flashed a couple of recoveries most of them resulting in bootloop. Some of them do work!

About maintaing root with an OTA. I assume you are talking about installing it via TWRP right? And when you say don't reboot (step 3) you mean after installing the OTA right? Also the option on step 5 will it be availble in the TWRP when I will try to flask magisk?

Thanks a lot

Edit - I use the TWRP from wzsx150 and I am on the 9.7.27 developer rom from xiaomi.eu

The process mentioned in OP doesn't require TWRP, the option 5 will be available in the magisk manager itself!
If you're a advanced user and have flashed TWRP you do not need to follow this method, just flash the magisk zip and you're ready to go!

Oh ok thanks alot!! Last thing should I reboot after installing the OTA via TWRP in order to flash the magisk or not as you mention in your method/guide? If this is off topic sorry

Once you install the OTA and reboot you will lose TWRP as it will be replaced by the stock recovery!
Simply flash TWRP back and flash the magisk zip and you should be good to go!

Will I lose data during the bootloader unlock process?
If yes what is the best way to backup all my data

Edit: Also need to know any precautions I need to take before and during the process.

Yes you'll lose your data during the bootloader unlock process, best way would be to backup all of your data on your PC first.

The only precaution is that you should be on Indian Firmware 10.3.3!

Great work! I cannot fully install magisk as I get bootloop everytime I install the zip in the manager (then have to wipe data etc). Im assuming this way I can say goodbye to TWRP and have a fully functional magisk

However, this would also work on chinese phone flashed with Indian/Global ROM yes?
