Processor: CPU Intel core i5-8500
Motherboard: MB GB B360-M-AORUS GAMING3
Ram: 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHZ
VGA: Asus GTX1060-O6G-DUAL

I wanna upgrade GPU (5050 or 5060)... Not sure if it`ll hit bottleneck or not

that gpu would be a significant upgrade to that current pc, but it would be severely bottlenecked
if you plan to upgrade the cpu in the future go for it and upgrade that later, if you’d rather just upgrade without needing another layer i’d go for a used card that a bit older (maybe a 3070?)

Any idea if 3060 ti wouldn't bottleneck on poe2?

AM4 is still good tho, I recommend to save more money and buy a 5070 or higher GPU, don't waste you money below that mark, my best advice is lower your graphics and prioritize framerate with this machine, you PC is still capable of great gaming experience, while that you can save money for AM5 with a complete new rig.
What I would add to this rig, is just 16GB RAM or even only 8GB more. You can use frame generation if you play a lot of single player games, that will do the trick while saving for AM5.
