Is there some "radio delete" that is possible on newer cars, kind of like the "never plug the smart TV into the internet" to avoid tracking?
Or does this break other things, like the built-in GPS and similar?

On others you may need to physically remove the modem if the fuse is going to more components.
Not sure about GPS but yes, some cars lose features when you do this. Can’t believe automakers dropped remote start from the fob just to push people to pay for a monthly subscription.
There's a YouTube video that details the process for my exact model. Unfortunately, it's a fair bit of work.
And it has to work with iMessage destinations that are not a phone number. I am unaware of any built-in infotainment system that can handle that. Tesla certainly cannot, as one data point.
Trying to get voice control to work reliably over bluetooth has never been anything but a laggy mess for me. A well implemented CarPlay implementation (even GM...) is way better.
In my case I had to open the radio and physically remove the cellular modem. Which was thankfully on its own removable module.
