I was thinking about getting BTC at an ATM then buying XMR. Do that ATMs go through exchanges? I've never used one and was wondering what the privacy implications were...

Maybe depending on the countries/ATMs? Is this document no more up-to-date?

This article uses the method described in How to use Text Verified to buy non-KYC bitcoin at a Bitcoin ATM (Wook 2022) and builds on it by describing how to use the non-KYC bitcoin purchased at the Bitcoin ATM to buy non-KYC monero through Bisq.

Basically they scan your ID, there are limits and stuff, KYC tiers, different per company.
