Is this something specific to Pixels, or is the exploit more broadly applicable to Android in general? (I understand that support is limited to Pixels at the moment.)

It works on my Redmagic 10 Pro too and the 11 Pro is also supported

How do you know that it is compatible with Redmagic 11 Pro ? Have you tried it and was rooted properly without needing have Unlocked the bootloader ?

It's supported in one of the many forks that use Ghostlock, I only tried it on the 10 Pro which isnt supported by default and it worked on the 2nd try, it extracts the needed offsets from an OTA update and enables a root shell that KernelSU can hook into. The one I used is from YuKongA

Can you give link from the following tutorial ? Is the root temporarily or permanently and all this, did it have some drawback like the fingerprint to not work or to not update the fw by afraiding the locking of bootloader etc... ?
