How do I lessen the chances of a ban on the SX Pro?

So, I'm getting a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and I'm considering buying an SX Pro along with it. I had a couple of questions around it: mainly about ban evasion. I'm wanting the SX Pro to generate my own cheat codes. I've worked with making Action Replay codes for the DS before, so I'm quite used to working with cheat codes. I don't want the SX Pro for anything but RAM Hacking and Save modding video games, particularly Pokemon Let's GO and any other pokemon games that may come out for the system. I won't be using it to pirate games, which I've been reading has been getting people banned. I'd probably also avoid making backups of my games too, just in case. Assuming I make a backup of my own Firmware, what can I do to lessen my chances of getting banned? And is there a way to RAM Hack without firmware hacking the Switch? Also, considering I said I want this primarily for save/RAM Hacking, is there a way I can do this without the SX Pro, such as through PKHex? Or would I need this device to dump and write to my saves? Also, on a slightly unrelated note, if the Switch I have has a serial number that designates it as currently unhackable, could the SX Pro eventually work with it? Thanks for reading.

The short answer is: You avoid getting banned by not going online for anything (FW update, game updates, patches, playing online even legit purchased games).

The alternative answer is: Get 1 console for modding and 1 console for going online and using it as normal.

The moment you gonna Fiddle with save files is the moment you gonna be vulnurable for a BAN online.Doesn't matter how small the issues is.From what ive read and knowledge i build upon the days. Its the best to just keep all your Emulation/hack on the EmunandSD and all your official stuff on the Sysnand.Never meddle with that and you can be save i guess but its still not 100%.Also if you get a Nin switch in xmas you need to be sure you're switchh wil be hackable in the first place.
