I have a pending OTA that I'm postponing. I'm unblocked and I have Magisk and TWRP; is it safe to install the OTA or before/after OTA installation I have to do something else ?
no it is not safe, it will brick your device, the only way you can install the OTA is by removing magisk, reinstalling the stock recovery (and make sure it boots when booting to recovery instead of TWRP) then apply the OTA and if it was relocked you need to unlock again and reinstall TWRP and magisk.
it is safe, magisk will be removed, bevause a new boot image will be flashed when updating, just make sure to flash stock emui8 recovery in recovery_ramdisk partition
Is there any twrp that can flash ota without having to wipe data first. I read that red fox allows it but I don't want to wide data and flash magisk again.
I recently installed Evolution through TWRP coming from MIUI 12.5. I wanted to flash Magisk via TWRP too. However, the decryption prompt in TWRP does not appear so I cannot push any files (magisk.zip) to the phone.
How to resolve this issue?

You don't need TWRP to install Magisk. Go to Magisk Github page and read instructions
Im short,t ake your boot img, install the Magisk app, patch the boot.img from Magisk app and flash the patched boot img from Fastboot
Regarding to TWRP - make sure you use the latest official.
Nevertheless, AFAIK - TWRP does not properly support decrypting for A12
I installed shrp recovery but it's encrypted and I made it permanent is it safe to flash twrp recovery through fastboot while having shrp?
The system partition disappeared in the OrangeFox recovery, which is why I can't install custom firmware. (And I can not clear this partition) Now I installed via fastboot the firmware from xiaomi.eu
(bootloader unlocked, root done, custom recovery installed)
