Is it safe to disable all permissions of system apps using shizuku and permission manager x ?

do restricing permission to system apps cause bootloop ? Or any crash in the system that eventually lead to a factory reset to make my device usable again ?

Is there any guides available for this ?

I don’t think it will cause boot errors if you don’t mess with important apps like grub.

Actually how to know what permissions are essential for important apps like grub and not ? Like android system need permission to location ? Is it ok to disable that permission ?

For example, DO NOT touch the android package. Read their descriptions via UAD or Canta or something, then revoke perms.

It is per package basis. It is generally advisable to not touch low level packages.

Low level means ? In canta like the unsafe and expert list of s/m apps ?

Low level means more important and critical things. For example, decreasing brightness on your phone is a high level thing, installing app is slightly lower, developer mode is lower, rooting your phone is even lower.
