list of ban risks
Ban Risk:
Instant ban:
• Piracy of any sort
• Homebrew nsps
• Changing user icon through homebrew
• Sketchy eShop behavior
Not so instant ban, but still a ban:
• Modding online games
• Cheating in online games
• Clearing error logs after they've been uploaded to Nintendo
Not a ban, so far:
• Homebrew
• Custom themes
• Mods/cheating in offline games
• emunand/emummc
(this assumes that you disable online syncing for games you intend to save edit of course)

My own experiment
I bought too many switches myself from ebay lol
back in June 28th 2019, I bought Super Mario Maker 2 game cart.
I put it in my atmosphere switch setup with emunand with 6.2 sysnand.
I created new account and linked it on this switch right in atmosphere CFW.
I kept updating it normal via Nintendo servers in emunand. I also do game updates normally in atmosphere CFW.
It gone thru 3 updates now. I am still playing Super Mario Maker 2.
I admit that I did injected my saves from my banned unit to this switch.
I also using my own custom themes and fonts on this switch.
only thing different is No Sigpatches and GoldLeaf on it.
I only use game carts and my purchased eshop games.
This shows that any kind of piracy will get your switch banned.
