If you want, you can use the phone on Wifi during those 5 months. Though, I cannot comment whether using Rsim, etc. will affect the unlock process since I always let Metro phones sat in my drawer for 6 months to get them unlocked.
About the port in line account age, some stores check but some stores don't. When I did the OnePlus Nord N10 deal last year, all I needed to do was to give them the port in info and they didn't ask any question. On the other hand, some people mentioned that Metro actually called the number to verify the number is active or called the carrier to confirm account age. All I can say is YMMV.
Officially, you need 6 months of service to get the phone unlocked, but based on past experience, phones always get unlocked 6 months after activation even if you stop using Metro service after the first month.
However, since they can change this anytime they want so nobody really knows until 6 months later.
I always just let them suspended my service after the first month. You will probably have to wait for someone who is more knowledgeable on this topic for an answer.
I have been following Metro deals for a few years and almost everyone got their phones unlocked after 6 months even without an active account.
Edit: That's my experience with port in deals. If you are upgrading phones, I have no idea how it works.
Thread from the N10 5G Metro deals back then. There is a huge wiki at the beginning.

Personally, I think the store experience at corporate and indirects sucks equally.

After you enter your zip code or they detected your location, go to filter then corporate store.

Will it unlock itself after 6 months?
