Its mostly safe if you compiled it from revanced.app or from github.com/revanced
As for account bans, I've been using it after vanced died and my accounts (including that has purchases) wasn't banned so maybe its a regional thing(?), I can't 100% tell.

Steel wool and a water bucket or running water
Pocari sweat
Its not the best tasting electrolyte drink sorry, but it helps me when i need electrolyte and i enjoy it compared to gatorade

Why? Are they still trying to revive firewire?
"Disposable" electronics
You mean this one? It is all disabled but swipe to pull menu still triggers when i try to scroll using my left hand
