How would they introduce mutants to the MCU? Do they get transported from another universe?

It will either be something to do with the Mulitverse, or some Eternals-style bullshit that Mutants have been here all along, but never revealed their Powers to the world

Although they could potentially update the characters so mutants havent been around for as long.
MCU Quicksilver and Wanda were the result of Hydra experiments, I think.
I think they're going to need to update Magneto's powers if they want to keep that backstory...and they should keep that backstory because it's an integral part of the character and why he thinks the way that he does. I think they could do something like say Omega mutants age at a much slower rate, or something in particular with his powers makes him age much slower. But that's not something you could take away from Magneto, just like we couldn't replace Captain America's WW2 experience with The Gulf War or Vietnam.The problem with that is the guy in my Avatar right now. The Holocaust is such a defining aspect of Magneto's character, removing that connection would make him entirely different. And yes, there have been other genocides - Rawanda, Bosnia etc - but none pack such emotional impact as the Final Solution.
This was acknowledged even in the Comics, where the writers realised it was getting increasingly difficult to keep Magneto as a Holocaust Survivor, when the rest of the X Men characters barely aged over the decades. Eventually, Magneto would just be too old. So they wrote a story where he was de-aged to his physical prime, while still retaining his memories of surviving the Holocaust.
This had the bonus of allowing Mags to bump uglies with Rogue. This grossed out some fans because Eric was chronologically old enough to be Rogue's grandfather. Funny enough, no one had a problem with Wolverine hooking up with much younger women, even though he's about half a century older than Magneto
They probably got a ton of "inclusivity" ideas during that time. Disney is reportedly cutting down on their woke pandering. We'll see.Disney has had the X-Men IP for over 4 years now and are just now listening to ideas? Jesus Christ.
