Default Replacing toilet supply line valve.....

Good point!

I replaced my toilet supply valves a few years ago. I don't remember
how much water drained out, but it wasn't enough to surprise me.

My advice would be to disconnect the water supply line to the toilet
first, and then drain the pipes through that before removing the valve.
That way if your pan fills up, you can still turn off the valve, empty
the pan, and open the valve again. You'll still get a little more
drainage when you remove the valve itself, but probably not much.
