No is used for recovery the console, also it can’t be detect by nity because is ran before the so of the switch
I have been installing NSP offline since day 1 and I'm still not banned and tbh I would be shocked if I ever get banned
All you need to do is make sure you don't run backups online, cfw online, nsp online.
I only play fortnite online and like I said I'm still not banned
Edit
Also do not clear logs with dreport if you are on firmware 5.1 since that will most likely get you banned

Is it safe if I run homebrew and use Checkpoint to extract/edit my BOTW save file? I never go online while in CFW.
Do you have how much time with your unlocked device?

The only incidence of a homebrew only ban was someone using a GBA emulator and clearing error logs on 5.X. I'd rather chalk the blame to the latter than the former so you may be safe but only Nintendo can say for sure whether or not its safe (and 9.9/10 they would still say its not).
Thought I'd post an update since the last one over a month ago. Still no ban. I'm perpetually online now too, NSPs, online games, devmenu, the new MH, etc. I'm in the UK and have all telemetry options disabled that Nintendo have given us. Running Rei, Hekate, and SX
@Draxzelex can I do it in the stead of a friend of mine who sells modded Switches? I reported a while back on him getting three banned in the process of selling modded systems, and he's gotten more banned since then, but he just had another banned and has it on hand for now so I can go through the whole questionnaire. But as its not mine, I don't know if you want second-hand data.
He's doing SX OS dongle+payloads and then sells them as they get banned/they get banned shortly after being sold.

Any data is fine as long as its formatted using the questionnaire. If proof can be attached (video preferably), that's even better.
I thought I had been pretty careful not to take my switch online.. deleted WiFi login info etc, but somehow my switch has phone home... I know because I have had two emails from Nintendo newsletter about xci copy games I've played.. I have no idea how they got that info. The only time my switch has been near a router was testing SX OS 1.5 FTP functionality with the switch firewalled from the web with a parental filter. All I can think is for a second or two it has connected to the net through some means, and sent a file showing games I have been playing.
Scenario 1 - they have detailed information on what I was playing and I *may* get banned.
I can see two possible outcomes.
Scenario 2 - it's just a record of a game played, but perhaps not the specific info that could result in a ban.
Anyway, my switch is updated to 5.1.0 with 5 burned fuses, and auto RCM turned on, so there's no way at the moment I'm connecting to anything intentionally to check ban status...
Should I be disabling / deleting any accounts or unlinking to prevent more personal info being shared with Nintendo..
Should the device get banned I'm not really bothered, as I don't game online. I would just prefer Nintendo didn't have personal info to tie me to my activities.

Not mine, but from a mod-seller who deals with this stuff. I have no idea how many he's gotten banned but its not a small number. I know its at least 4.
Ban? Yes x4 at least.
If Yes, provide proof (video preferred):t 2124-4007 (I'll see if he'll give me a picture, he may not, aside from these details he likes to keep his operation quiet I guess.)
SX OS used? Yes
Did you connect to the Internet with SX OS and/or to activate the license? Yes
Did you play any .XCI files online with a certificate/header? Yes at least while he uses it, he does proper card 1 vs. card 2 injections. But does not know what people do after he sells them if sold unbanned.
Do you have a certificate/header ban (look for error code 2124-4025)? No? He's not aware of any of his carts being banned, just the systems. He's kept reusing certs so probably not but this may be how he's getting tracked down system by system.
Lowest SX Version used when Online/Offline (NOT Switch System Firmware)? Most recent v1.5, but Switches have been banned with probably every iteration of SX OS.
Non-TX Layered FS Used? No. Only SX OS modding and selling.
Did you connect to the Internet with a non-TX LayeredFS Inject? No.
Played online w/ Non-TX Layered FS Injects? No.
Used DevMenu? No.
Installed any .NSP? No on older banned units, yes on the 1.4-1.5 SX OS unit (so SX OS's ripped off version of TinFoil).
Did you connect to the Internet w/ any .NSP installed? Yes. (See previous message for details.)
Did you play any .NSP installed online? Yes. (See previous message for details.)
Did you perform any CDN/Freeshop downloading with your own Switch's certificate? No.
Backups updated? Yes.(See previous message for details.)
Homebrew/non-TX CFW Used? No.
Connect to Internet w/ homebrew/non-TX CFW? No.
Connect to eShop while using CFW/homebrew? Yes.
AutoRCM? Yes.
Did you update your firmware w/o burning fuses? No.
Did you install the exFAT update offline? No.
receive-lp1.dg.srv.nintendo.net blocked and/or "Don't Share Usage Information" ticked under "Other Settings"? No.
What firmware(s) were you on when you cleared error logs prior to going online? No log clearing, at least not intentionally.
Disabled "Send Error Information" in System Settings? Yes.
Wi-Fi settings deleted? No.
Airplane mode? No.
Auto-Update Software Enabled in System Settings? Yes.
Can you use the eShop on the Switch? No, see error: 2124-4007
Can you login to Nintendo's website using your linked Nintendo Account? No idea, he puts dummy NA accounts on the systems he intends to sell. He has a main, personal clean Switch for his account and personal online uses.
Do you get error code 2137-7403 trying to update your system firmware? Up to date.
Console/Account Region(s) SEA, or at least he lives there no idea what that counts as but the dummy accounts are NA.
Trimmed .XCI? No.
Additional Comments: He's a re-seller of modded systems that he uses until banned or sells them if requested for a modded system. He's gotten at least four banned and isn't saying exactly how many he's gone through lol. I don't think its a small number but he likes to keep his info mostly secretive as its a backstreet business for him with Switch and PS4 mod selling.
Here's some more data, the bans have been spread out ever since SX OS released. They're not immediate and I think his most recent system lasted for several weeks but they seem to come sooner or later.
Since this is second-hand, feel free to disregard.

Another set of updates:
- Updated the ZIP file in OP that includes an Excel copy of the Spreadsheet. If you want another format to use, just ask me and I'll send you whatever I can.
- Added 2 confirmed cases of superbans (aka CDN bans). The users are einso and GRAnimated. A word of warning: I didn't ask them to fill out the survey since the only way to get a superban is by excessive CDN downloading with your console's certificate so the responses to most of the questions are negligible but pieced together based off of public posts
- The poll in the OP seems close what with there only being a two vote difference between the options. I (really) do not wish to return this question for multiple reasons but since not many people have voted yet, I'll continue to keep it open until there is a clear winner

I contacted Nintendo in a live chat a couple days ago about my little brother ban. They just want me to call them so they can discuss about it. This is the email they sent me about a ban console
Banned: Yes
Used a CDN downloader: N
Unchecked "send error reports": Y
SX OS offline: Y
SX OS online: N
Played SX OS backups online: N
Do I have a certificate header ban: Y
SX OS version: 1.4 when uses first
Layered FS use: N/A
Homebrew use: N/A
DEV menu: N/A
Used .NSP?: Y
Used with internet: Y (after accidental whoops ban:
Backups available: Y (OFW)
Connect to Eshop on CFW: Y (whoops!!)
Homebrew: Y, after ban
Auto RCM: Y, but will disable soon.
E fuses burnt to update to exfat, didn't care about worrying for future CFW
Any other questions probably aren't useful, because my ban was for the obvious "access E shop on CFW" mistake. But afaik I would have gotten a ban anyways. Two switches FTW!
First degree ban, as of now still have CDN access

I'd like to see a DS emulator that allows casting top screen to TV then use bottom for the touch screen stuff+1

@K3Nv2 I did that using Citra for 3DS games. Bottom screen was my smartphone. Until I got the touch screen.

Ken I have that sort of set up on Drastic on Pi for games that don't require touch

Any TV with your PC connected with Citra and any smartphone to use as a screen using a free play store app.+1
