Mint doesn’t need to be put in the ground. Just put it in a pot outside, it’ll do the rest, and leave you with some level of plausible deniability.
I know this because my ex got some different types of mint to grow, since we both loved it. She put them in pots on the front porch, about 4 feet off the ground.
That mint found its way to the lawn. We still don’t know where it started from, just that the pot was flourishing, and then so was the yard. The new owner of that house is still finding mint growing in random parts.
It can choke out native plant life, if left to do its thing. It is an invasive species for non-native areas, and that can even come down to what type of mint is native.
The main issues are that mint doesn’t have a lot of requirements to grow, and is notoriously hard to kill. If it’s in a place it can survive, it can and will thrive left unchecked.

Seeds. Plus mint creeps, but definitely seeds too.
Also mint is native in some places it’s like that.
Is mint bad for yards? A fully mint lawn sounds incredible.
