Get Get Google Voice numbers and port that to Google Fi.
Once you get the new phones activate them with the fi sims.
Then the fi sims can be removed and the tmobile sims put in. Keep fi sims in a drawer and cancel fi service after 4 months.
Fi phones come unlocked.
If you want to see what people had reported in the past, you can read through some of the replies on this thread: (I searched using the keyword void on that thread)

You are missing the point here. Google Fi is offering lower trade in value, but their phone is also a few hundred bucks cheaper even if you added the cost for the service.
For BestBuy, S21 has a trade in value of $800 but the S22+/S22 Ultra is $800/$1000. Here, the S21 has a trade in value of $625 but the S22+/S22 Ultra is only $400/$600 + cost of service.
If you have a S21 (and not any other phone), it is still cheaper to do the Google Fi trade in vs the BestBuy trade in.
Edit: Fixed some sentences/wordings/grammars, etc.

My tmobile sims are in s21 of which I have 2, but I need to keep the new s22s active? What do I do with my tmobile sims?
The TIV is too good to pass up, someone please help this newbie out do this as seamlessly and cost efficiently as possible
or is number porting my only option?

However, I know people who ordered phones from Google Fi usually just activate the Google Fi service, then immediately replace the Google Fi with their own carrier sim after that since the phone is unlocked.
This works because the promotion terms only required you to activate the phone on Google Fi and keep the service active for 4 months. Basically, as long as you pay for 4 months (either with Google Fi credit or with your credit card), they don't care whether you make call/text or use the data at all. The only thing you cannot do is to put the Google Fi sim to another phone because that will associate your account to a different imei, which violated the promotion term that required 120 days consecutive service on the phone.
I also asked for clarification on pausing the service while in 120 days. I was explicitly told don't pause the service until you have completed 120 days. Otherwise it will void the promotion.

The trade-in criteria from google seems to be that there are no cracks in the screen and the phone powers on -- does anybody have experience to confirm this? I'm thinking that if that's all that's required, might as well use a lower grade phone for the trade-in. Phones with bad shadows on the screen, lots of scuffs, etc, can be had for a lot less. But I wouldn't want to have a phone get rejected... Any thoughts?

Similar to most phone trade in programs, it is always YMMV because it really depends on the person who is inspecting the phone. Some of them may let a lot of things slide but some others may nitpick on every small detail. I don't remember where I have read it or whether it is for Google Fi trade in, but I recall someone saying Grade A or Grade B phones are typically good for trade in; and Grade C phones will normally give you issue during trade in.

Cracked Screen
Damaged Screen
Burn-in
Bruising (may appear as dead pixels or spots of discoloration)
Pixelation
Delamination
Unresponsive Screen
Oh, and another big one -- they give you nothing if they decide your battery has "swollen". And they won't (can't) return the phone to you. You just get nothing.
Which is quite a bit different from the "is the screen cracked?" question they ask when giving the "estimate". In fact, it's enough different that I would call it a bait-and-switch level of dishonesty. I wonder if they'd at least give you the "cracked screen" value if you had some minor burn-in or a single dead pixel on the screen.
