Is revanced YouTube safe?

I'm using NewPipe but some functionalities are lacking. Looked at revanced but unsure about it's reputation. Also, will I get banned by using a modded YT client? Thanks.

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.
PS: if you decided to give it a try and use your accounts, make sure to use the "vanced" version of microg, idk why but vanilla microg doesnt work with revanced in my experience
- Any trusted auto CI build linked to an F-Droid repo for management and update?
  
  The manager/patcher app probably but the actual revanced app itself you're supposed to patch yourself. I believe this is to sidestep the copyright/redistribution issues with youtube that vanced had
  
  So just a private CI build with a private f-droid repo for the revanced app
