Yes, you won't be banned just for being on a lower firmware. That'd be very counterintuitive on Nintendo's part.
Hacking Has anyone who's not get ban yet ever clear your activity log?

I have the right idea I just don't misuse the tools provided by the best modding community around. I use FBI and every other cia/homebrew I've installed, while online. (On 4 separate consoles) NTR for streaming. Freeshop, FBI, etc. I don't use plugin's or cheats for games, but I use (just about) everything everyone else does, online and have not been banned. Never cleared the log and have no plans to clear it.
OP's question in a simplified manner: "If you have no been banned, what did you do to prevent being banned?" -
A: Turn off the WiFi before you do things you may think will get you banned. Set up a private NTR network with a extra router and limit the 3DS system's actual internet access but retain connection to your PC so you can record the streams if you're using that. Common sense. If you are that paranoid and think you have to hide the use of your console from a company you bought it from (It is then not their property to control) then hide it all you want. I have never attempted to hide it and have not been banned, thankfully. Use the tools you are provided responsibly.
Mod it. Support the devs. Enjoy it.
did you use (fre)eshop to downlaod all cia games? and can you play online with outdated fw?
Yes, and I've been playing online. I'll have to update to continue doing so, though, because there's no way to bypass the firmware check now. I could setup a frankenfirm, but I'd rather not.

i am not saying its true just wanted to get the "popular" belief out there . . . personally i have 3 3ds's (and have hacked 7 others) and only one got banned (. . . and it was one i had not used for a year before the bans) but the point is the same i never did anything "different" on that 3ds . . . its not like i was doing anything to avoid bans on any console (in fact with my 5 extra seeds i can unban myself)
I haven´t been banned and I haven´t taken any precautions because I´m lazy...
I´ve never cleared my activity log either

You can't disable them. It only takes running .cia homebrew while online once for Nintendo to log it, which could be enough reason for them to ban you later on.
I have never been careful with what I run while online, and I'm not banned, but it could still happen at any time.
So it's ok to play games online that were downloaded through freeshop without the risk of being banned? Also, I had read something about how the Rosalina menu allows you to inject a cia into a legit title making it look like you are playing that title instead of the unauthorized cia. I haven't done too much searching on this yet but if I am thinking correctly, then if I inject freeshop into Health and Satefy app then Nintendo should never see that I am running freeshop. Am I correct on that and is that a good way to stay safe in addition to the tips on the 3ds.guide website? I haven't been banned yet either and I do use online and just want to ensure that the tips in the 3ds.guide are enough. Thanks.

totally they appear as legit apps
close . . . it lets you "temporarily" replace an official app with the homebrew loader so you can use .3dsx files and they will still log in the system as the original app.
with rosilina it is download play, it's the only official app recommended/endorsed by the cfw's author . . . but it will mask your (.3dsx version) homebrew usage
yes in addition if there is a .cia format homebrew app (and this goes for any unofficial app not just homebrew ex vc injects, forwarders, ect) that you want to use then do it while offline and run a official app before turning on wifi (from what we can tell nintendo can see the current app when online and if no app is open it will report the last app opened instead)
it is believed that nintendo logs all info collected and in order to accurately ban it takes actual people, that takes time and money. from a business aspect its cheaper and simpler to collect data, until you have a big enough workload to justify assigning a team . . . so the general belief is if you have committed this infraction then you have been logged in their database and its only a matter of time before the "next wave" gets you

Thanks for the tips @wormdood . I'll have to check out the freeshop thread and see if they have a .3dsx version of the app for me to use. That's really the only unofficial app I use on my 3DS. It's been a while but I thought I remember reading that the .3dsx version of freeshop had issues. I guess I'll have to figure that out. Thanks again.

@
BigOnYa:
Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X) -
