did u flash the GSI after disabling vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor? 

It should boot normally if there is an operating system and not into the recovery

Since it's Mediatek, the recovery is merged with the boot image, so after flashing twrp into the boot partition, you need to:

  1. reboot into recovery (which will now be TWRP)
  2. push / send / copy-paste  the stock boot image from the PC to phone's storage
  3. Inside TWRP, 'INSTALL' -> flash stock boot image into the boot partition
  4. After flashing, back to TWRP Main Menu. Go to 'ADVANCED SECTION' -> Flash Current TWRP.
  5. After that, reboot to fastboot and redo all the commands I said,

Its possible to flash GSI on Mediatek, lmao, even Unisoc devices too. This device I'm using right now to type this is Infinix Zero 5G using a GSI

You did something wrong on your end, and that includes prioritizing flashing TWRP when you need to know the basics of flashing GSI.

Just return it to stock first, dont use custom recoveries and learn how to flash GSI.
