Rooting seems to have some benefits like bypassing API integrity, so I want to know if rooting my phone is a good idea? And is it safe? (By that I mean will I break my device?) I don't use Google Play Services nor any banking apps (I use the website) and there's no supported custom ROM for my phone (Xiaomi redmi note 12 S) so I think it might be a solution

Rooting is terrible for security. You can remove all the apps you want adb. There is an article how to do it here https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
