The Moto G31 supports Project Treble, so there's a good chance it'll take a GSI. However, it does have a MediaTek chipset, which doesn't always play well with GSI. So it might boot, but lose the ability to make calls and texts. Alongside the small risk of bricking, I wouldn't do this if it were my main phone, but if you'd like to take a chance:

Speaking from having experienced the misery of installing a GSI on a budget Samsung tablet with no custom ROM support. Also, if you run into completely unintelligible posts on XDA forums, that's not your fault. It's the only source for some very niche information, but very few people there can write a coherent tutorial from first principles.

@monovergent It seems very complicated to set up and i think that it can leaves me without my cellphone (I use it for banks and work, so maybe it's very risky to try this on it!). I think that I'm gonna buy another one in the future to overcome this issue. For now, I deactivated few tracking resources from my android and I'm using more F-Droid apps and Aurora Store for mainstream apps. Isn't perfect, but at least it's a layer into my mobile privacy. It's the last barrier for me, bc i'm using Linux for more than one year on my computer.

I would agree that's the way to go given the importance of your current phone.
