Well maybe eventually you will but everybody that has been banned so far, even the people not using layered or sxos and being offline and on lower firmware are all getting banned while users having the webkit exploit haven't been banned so far. Not saying I am correct since I can't proof it but everytime I see a status like this, I can't stop thinking it is booting something through RCM that is causing the bans

My theory is booting anything which touches the Switches Horizon OS probably leaves some traces in the logs which Nintendo can pickup on. Booting something like Lakka or Linux is probably fine as your leaving your Nand totally out of that, so as far as Horizon knows it never happened.
In the future i suspect booting an Emunand which never goes online will also be totally fine.
We will just have to wait and see and what's proved in the next couple of months.

What webkit exploit? Do you mean the one for 3.0.0? I'm a bit out of the loop, but how can people boot into SX OS with a webkit exploit and not RCM?
Having blank logs all the time is suspicious in itself. That doesn't happen normally.
Even Dummy logs are dumb af.
Nintendo gets all the logs, they can clearly see if somethings in the wrong order or deleted, right now clearing logs is kind of the biggest ban reason, together with LayeredFS
They can't but can use homebrew such as emulators and so forth. Kernel will be released when atmosphere releases wich uses the webkit exploit to load up the kernel exploit. But at the moment it is just regular homebrew
So,
I used LayeredFS once, it crashed (lol) and then I cleared the logs. Heard that it wasn't the best idea but my Switch's been in Flight Mode for a few months. So I should be safe...I think.
What should I do now? Restore my backup I made before using LayeredFS? Or wait for Atmosphere with telemetry patches? Or both?

The short answer is no one knows what Nintendo can see, but restoring a backup should work like a charm if you were in flight mode prior to grabbing the NAND backup. The console should turn on, sync it's time (which likely happens after a power-on event anyway) and won't know any different.

Okay, stop with that. Please. It's 110% speculation, and just fuels the proverbial fire.
You MIGHT (Keyword here) have some validity in this thought. However, the shared suspect is LayeredFS.
Im using latest hekate + only homebrews, havent tried layeredFS or sx os once and not going to until things are somewhat clear. Still not banned. Also no autoRCM or modded jigs and other type of stuff(soldering. modding with wires еtс.) Cleared logs twice. At this point i have no idea about the reasons behind bans since there are plenty of ppl who are not banned (yet?) sitting on sx os and playing online just fine, and at the same time there are ppl who are banned only for homebrews with no use of sx os or layeredFS whats so ever (means i can be banned too). Maybe modding to go into rcm is a thing? Like a permanent soldering of pins... idk
I use CFW for online play all the time, haven't gotten banned. I use SwitchBlade with AutoRCM though, and nx-dreport is added to my switchblade.ini file. So every time I boot my Switch, it clears the log files.
I think there's two factors at play here.
1) If your Switch has been online with at least 1 error report in the past, and then afterwards it connects with no error reports, Nintendo knows something is up, and bans you.
2) You really shouldn't use any of the Hekate builds floating around that have LayeredFS support. SciresM made a post on Discord about the LayeredFS builds, I wish he had announced it on Twitter so more people would know:

Then you should know that he also said that cleaning logs are dangerous as well.I use CFW for online play all the time, haven't gotten banned. I use SwitchBlade with AutoRCM though, and nx-dreport is added to my switchblade.ini file. So every time I boot my Switch, it clears the log files.

There's also a layer of salt and trolls to account for too. Users claiming they are banned for only HBL stuff will really need a microscope to their asses because I don't believe all the claims I'm seeing as of late. Not that I discredit them but there's a lot of "I'm banned!!" going around without proof right now. And even so, we don't know what people are really doing other than what they tell us.

"Don't use stuff until it's done"... What a great mantra to live by. :vI use CFW for online play all the time, haven't gotten banned. I use SwitchBlade with AutoRCM though, and nx-dreport is added to my switchblade.ini file. So every time I boot my Switch, it clears the log files.

Yes, he did, but every time I've gotten an error message, I've had to reboot my Switch, which I'm doing with AutoRCM and Switchblade set up to clear the logs every time. So far I haven't been banned.
What are the alternatives? If homebrew causes errors and ends up sending them to Nintendo, chances are I'll be banned. If my Switch reports 1 error to Nintendo, then later reports none, I'm pretty sure I'll be banned. Deleting all errors every boot, at least for me, appears to be the safest option.
The only "safer" alternative would be constantly making and restoring NAND backups every time I wanted to use homebrew, and that's not happening.
Safest right now is probably not to use homebrew at all, especially not the piracy stuff.

@Xdqwerty, to answer your question, they're a fusion Brit-pop/J-pop/electronic band with a woman vocalist. Flamingo is hands down their best known song but they've got a ton of other really good songs+1 -

For example, one of my other favorite songs from them, with some massive house music influence -+1
