I've tried it. Their KYC is so intrusive.
They asked me to scan my face through a third-party identity verification provider called Sumsub. Which seems like maybe the exclusive third party ID checker that CEXs use, because it came up with 2 other exchanges, including Binance.
I'd say stay way from it like fire. Maybe look for your local crypto ATM/Exchange or LocalMonero, as you've mentioned. So you could at least use cash and some pseudonymous information.
