I don’t need 5g
Many apps for the domestic Chinese market are released only on that store and some are worth trying. For example 多闪 is a Snapchat/BeReal clone created by Bytedance

I want my China data physically segregated from the non China data. Similar to having a separate work and personal phone.
According to Bloomberg, you may not even get sideloading even if you buy the iPhone in Europe. iOS will detect that you're not in the EU and not enable the feature. Of course, no one will really know until iOS 17 is released.
