AFAIK winget isn't officially supported from MSYS2 side
That's not important. The problem is when MSYS2 is installed once, do you ever need to install it again from the installer for an upgrade, or pacman -Syu
is enough?
This also should be clarified in documentation, if it wasn't already.

pacman -Syu
is enough. The idea is true for other rolling release projects also.
This confirms winget or any other windows package manager is unnecessary for this package.
We have it documented here: https://www.msys2.org/docs/updating/ If there are things which should be made more clear or highlighted more, let us know.

Does pacman -Syuu
also upgrade the exe terminal files directly under C:\msys64, like msys2.exe etc?
Yes, everything except the start menu files pointing to them.

msys2.exe etc. are part of msys2-launcher package. So, those files will be updated like other packages when a newer version is available. Though, msys2-launchers are small programs and hardly changed.
I assume there is nothing else to do here. If not let us know.
Can you please clarify this: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/127282
