I've used Magisk before and it works fine. I think it was on the OP 6T I had. Another / cleaner option was using an app TWRP that allows you to manage things on the phone itself after you add the root files / image you want to use. Unlock the bootloader and install via adb commands IIRC. https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-twrp-samsung-galaxy-s21-plus-ultra/
