Disabling "Google Play Services" using the phone settings on HyperOS 2; any experiences or thoughts?

Discussion

Disabling com.google.android.gms (Google Play services) by using the disable icon in app info at the phone settings in HyperOS 2. I already disabled play store using that way; I am still surprised that xiaomi gave us the ability to disable a system app that easily — specificly those two google apps.
I get most of my apps from 'F-droid' and 'Izzydroid' — even reddit, I use another app for it, and I no longer use 'Aurora store' that much either. About bank apps, I don't have any, neither any social and messaging apps working in the background — my real concern is any possible bricking or a bootloop happening. I am doing this overall in the sake of making my device better: getting rid of things that I don't need for a more swift and lightweight experience, saving battery consumption, even if it is slightly noticeable, as long it doesn't bootloop or brick the phone, it should be fine; so I ask again, any thoughts or experiences?
