Should I install the wrong rom to the wrong phone? (mujico.org)

Ok, i have a stupid JKM-LX3 Y9-2019 and im trying to get rid of the phone provider bs. I have already tried with the vanilla options in HiSuite and no luck, it keeps giving me the same rom.

So I want to try my luck installing be it the JKM-AL00 or the JKM-TL00 wich are the Chinese versions of the phone.

Leaving the spooky things about pooh probably living inside the rom, my major consern is the posible difference in drivers, especially because there's a difference between my 3GB RAM phone and the Chinese versions with 4GB.

SO, should I try my luck?

If the only difference in hardware is the RAM - then no problem at all, probably is going to work just fine. If there are minor hardware differences (most probably this is the case), probably is going to work almost fine, and some things may break - as always with custom ROMs the camera is the part most susceptible to weird behavior, but all in all there is basically no risk of any permanent damage, in worst case the phone will just not boot to system and you can reflash it. I can't think of a reason for just the ROM to cause any lasting damage to your phone, so in my opinion you can go ahead.
