I found a solution to this which is flashing the stock ROM using the adb/fastboot tools, but I used an older version because the latest one didn't work for some reason and I followed the guide on google's website hope that'll help someone. :)

If your rom developer does it you can just
fastboot update rom.zip
Where rom.zip contains android-info.txt and at least boot, system, product, vendor, vbmeta, and dtbo img files.
If necessary unzip and rezip creating an empty android-info.txt.
Img files contain an exact replica of the partition which is copied exactly onto the device

As you mentioned, since the boot chain up to bootloader stage is closed source and binaries are signed with OEM's private keys, it's not possible to replace or modify the bootloader. However if bootloader is unlockable, it's possible to boot a custom kernel (your own OS). But the ...

You need to set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT in /etc/environment.
You may have a folder with boot.img and system.img etc. in, this is the right folder.
Example:
ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=/path/to/folder/with/images/
After that you can call sudo fastboot flashall -w
It also works for self builds.

yes, TWRP is built OS-version specific
the reason is changes in android versions may differ in
encryption type
file system type
partition layout
mount point
most (if not all) updates are backwards compatible. that means the TWRP is ready for android 9 but you can still run android 8 on your device

Run MI flash tool and select the extracted folder.
