It could only brick of your 3ds turns off at one specific moment afaik

During the install yes. Theres a certain part which writes to the NAND.

Chances of bricking from installing a legit .cia of a game is the same as the chances of bricking from downloading & installing a game from the eShop.

Yes it writes to ticket.db, yes if the 3DS was to power off or freeze as it writes to that file it could corrupt it. Could it render the whole system inoperable? No idea. Maybe you'd be able to boot into recovery mode and go from there, if it did render the whole system inoperable.

There are a lot of things that write to 3DS nand and everyone takes it for granted. But anything even just simple things such as installing custom themes with CHMM2 writes to the nand. Several games or system titles also write to the nand sometimes. etc.
 
some kind of off topic

i'm able to install the legit cias on menuhax 2.1,
if i want to upgrade to version 2.5 how do i do that? do just need to copy-paste the needing file and replace the old installation or i need to uninstall it first?

anyway for the guy that keep getting install failed.
just keep trying, i'm being able to do my 1st cia instalation was after the 5th time

Can this install the DS flashcards whitelist CIA or not yet?
Just... No.

Gosh, people don't even read the brief OP before commenting. I'm not even a dev, and I feel frustrated for the people who make these things possible.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN'T INSTALL ANYTHING BUT THE GAMES LISTED IN THE OP.
