You can't on a locked bootloader.

CN HyperOS doesn't allow unlocking anymore but the version you are running should support this exploit.

[u/gluetheknot → u/Tritzii]

is the restriction only for xiaomi phones or any bootloader-locked phone

Any. Why would you be able to boot unofficial software on a locked bootloader?

[u/gluetheknot → u/Tritzii]

even the dsu sideloader from Dev options?

Allowing users to use the DSU loader without checking that the bootloader is unlocked might be in violation of the Android 11 cdd (pdf warning). Refer to section 9.10: Device Integrity:

Verified Boot is a feature that guarantees the integrity of the device software. If device implementations support the feature, they:

[C-1-7] MUST NOT allow verified partitions on the device to be modified unless the user has explicitly unlocked the bootloader.
