Hey guys so long story short my dumb ass lost an iphone 11 pro and i suspect someone has picked it up and removed the sim as it's been switched off.. Just wanted some assurance that modern phones with passcodes aint easily accessible and my lost data is kinda safe??

All depends. Do you use iCloud at all? If so your things should be okay as you can use an app on another phone or someone else's to find the device. Apple also has an entire website that shows you what you can do if you have lost your iPhone. I'll link it here. Hope you find your phone dude

iOS is a well secured OS, if you have FaceID and or a 6 digit pass code it would take a user a long time to brute force the device. Assuming they know what they are doing. And being an 11 it is not vulnerable to the checkm8 exploit so there is no easy way of breaking in

If they do get in and try to restore it, it won't let them set it up as they won't have the login for iCloud and it will be locked
