Do not disable com.android.updater - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D

I uninstalled com.android.updater, and fow a while everything was OK. Then today the battery was depleted, and after recharging the phone went into a bootloop. I had to install com.android.updater again, and after that everything went back to normal.
How did I find out it was com.android.updater? When in a bootloop, the Android system is actually already up and running. I was able to do adb logcat. There I saw that the system was looking for com.android.updater.
Code:
04-18 17:07:20.036 7445 7606 E AndroidRuntime: *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: Thread-4
04-18 17:07:20.036 7445 7606 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: System error: connot find system app : com.android.updater
Note that I'm using the original China Stable ROM version 10.4.4.0(PFKCNXM), all stock, locked bootloader, not rooted. Except for the customization that we can do without root: Install Google services etc, and disable/uninstall packages through ADB.
I didn't want to upgrade to MIUI 11 because I've seen reports of it being slow and draining battery, and I want the NFC functionality, so I had to stick with China ROM.

I can't find that in my Mi 9T Pro (using the latest xiaomi.eu 20.3.27)
When I search Update I find pl.zdunex25.updater, com.android.dynsystem and com.google.android.configupdater and have all 3 frozen with SDMaid.

Oh I'm using the China Stable ROM version 10.4.4.0(PFKCNXM), sorry for not mentioning it earlier. I think custom ROMs might be immune to this sort of thing. Thanks, I've updated the post with my ROM info.

Process of restoring generally depends on how did you 'uninstall' - please precisely describe how you did

I connect phone to computer with adb, click "debloater" and write com.android.updater in "custom" field, and click uninstall.

Still depending on how your debloater worked, try the folowing command(s):
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.updater
if it fails then:
adb shell pm enable com.android.updater
First make sure that adb connection is properly established:
adb devices

Something wrong/strange with your adb deamon
Btw, you used certain Debloater - you should better ask in the corresponding Debloater forum/thread how to un-do

Would it be safe to disable in ADB, rather than uninstall?
Also, is it only responsible for OS updates, or does it handle things like updating the Google Play app?

I would suggest not touching android.updater. it gives bootloop if disabled or uninstalled

What should we remove then
