❔ Difference between using readonly or { get; }?

The only difference I can think of is that if we use { get; } then we are converting from a field to a property; but I'm not so sure about this...

Essentially yes. readonly is a field modifier, while { get; } is a get-only property. The major difference usually comes in API. An interface can't declare a readonly field, but it can declare a get-only prop for example that the derived classes can implement however they want. They can be properties with a backing field or computed properties, ... So your only major difference essentially is API

{ grt; } is a readonly property which generates a readonly backing field it's convention to use properties target than fields for public things

You can also have: 
get {
    return Random.Shared.Next(0, 64);
}
get {
    return Random.Shared.Next(0, 64);
}
Which won't be quite read-only
