Why don't you do it?

But as the docu of isomath says:

"unicode-math cannot be used together with isomath. It can, however,
replace all of isomath’s functionality. See the discussion of the
unicode-math package below."

So if you want to try unicode-math remove isomath (and other
packages that changes math setup).

Setting up the math fonts are not easy as a lot of symbols and fonts
are involved. The differences between the engines (8-bit like
pdflatex <-> xelatex, lualatex) are here also more pronounced.
Mixing 8-bit-math packages with unicode math packages can get quite
complicated.
