Mi Roaming (eSIM) no longer works on Patched MIUI 11 & MIUI 12 ROM

[EnumC]

Hi everyone!
This thread is similar to another thread posted in 2018: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi-roaming.44410/

Mi Roaming is an APK offered by Xiaomi that enables fairly cheap eSIM plans for international travels. It is not present in the patched MIUI builds as it can be considered "bloatware", and rightfully so. However, it still doesn't work even if you sideload the APK from apkmirror (com.miui.vsimcore & com.miui.virtualsim). Are we still missing a dependency? Has anyone gotten it to work on any of the patched builds?

Logcat reveals:
