iPhone 13 Pro Max Housing Replacement — Does It Affect Signal/Network and Other Important Features?

I’m planning to replace the housing/frame of my iPhone 13 Pro Max because the body/back glass is damaged, but I’m worried about the differences between the replacement housing and the original Apple one.

For people who already did this repair:

•Does replacing the housing affect signal/network reception?
•Any issues with cellular data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS after?
•Does MagSafe still work normally?
•Does the phone heat up more with aftermarket housing?
•Is there a noticeable difference in build quality vs original?
•Does it affect Face ID, cameras, or battery performance?
Is water resistance completely gone after the repair?
I’m especially concerned about network signal because I heard the antennas are connected to the housing/frame.

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has done this repair or works in phone repair. Thanks!
