The XML parser assumes everything is a string - you can do this to attempt to parse all the scalar values into their types:

yq -p=xml ' (.. | select(tag == "!!str")) |= from_yaml' sample.xml

This selects all the string values and runs them through 'from_yaml'. That function will convert to numbers/floats/booleans if it can, otherwise it will leave the string value as is.
