All the Shimano 12s groupsets use Microspline freehubs for the cassette, so unless you bastardize and keep the SX or NX cassette and replace only shifter/RD, you will need a new rear hub to replace...or a MS rear wheel altogether. some companies use sunrace or equivalent 3rd party HG cassettes to keep HG hubs that they get cheaper. was really popular hack during the covid shortages. These cassettes are pretty pricey for retail buyers tho...
But half the "magic" with Shimano 12s is using Shimano's own HG+ chain on OEM Shimano cassettes with HG+ ramps...which also requires a chainring with HG+ compatible teeth to accommodate the chain...and...I hope you get it by now that it's complicated and peeps should not just casually name-drop groupsets when cross compatibility is not there.
If you want XT and you dont fixate on 12s, your best bet to keep using the HG hub and go for the 11s Linkglide version: slightly less smooth than the 12s XT, but advertised as 3x the lifetime. Favored by eMTBers that run the clock a lot.
If you can live with 11s and don't fixate on XT moniker, the Deore M5100 11s is great, has HG+ (11s HG+ chain doesn't need a special chainring), has great range (11-51T) and better ramping jumps between the low gears than all eagle 12s cassettes and costs as much as the 10s Microspline Advent X (also better than SX). Would recommend getting the ultegra/XT 11s chain even if you go for the Deore grade drivetrain.

Not sure about the rear

I'd also spend addtl $250 and get the shimano 12s xt groupset off ebay!
