I have a Poco phone. It's not that bad. There's ads in file manager, pop-up ads after you install any app and it's constantly trying to phone home. But I use NextDNS with some blocklists. They already have tracking protection for Xiaomi devices in beta as well.
Same as me. But I would like to stress that NextDNS Xiaomi filters aren't best. They miss out a lot of trackers. So, you might have to add those individually.
I have also recently switched to CrDroid for my device. The activity of these blockings have dropped by 30%. Lot more privacy for the device.
