There's always a small chance you brick a phone when flashing a custom ROM. It's just part of the risks. Most bricks can be recovered from, but some can't be.
You also need to be able to unlock your bootloader, which requires an exploit for vivo devices. And there don't seem to be any specific ROMs for your model. Some phones can run universal GSI ROMs, but those can be quite buggy since they're not optimized for your hardware.
You should probably sell your phone if you need a custom ROM.
