Hiya, I'm going to buy a new switch and I want to use it with as minimal mods as possible, the only reason I want to mod it is to edit saves. I understand that even that has its risks but I need help understanding what I should or shouldn't do. I don't plan on buying any online games or buying the online subscription. I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction and give me some advice on this to help me be as safe as possible.
There isnt much to say if you dont think going online, just keep it offline, and should be safe.
Just dont use illegal copies of the games
There is always a risk of getting banned when you hack the console. If you value hacking more than online play, then feel free to do so.
This is the method I've been using, posted by Kimbra:

Use the first post here to set everything up, then after doing this once and being comfortable with it, I recommend doing what's listed in this post here by Ikithme:

Basically, *after* setting everything up and having your backups, I use TegraRCM to put the Switch into RCM, then use hacdiskmount to load the Switch's user partition as a drive. Then I grab the file of the save I want to edit (which, I don't know a good way to keep track of all of them other than using the presumed dates in which I started the games lol), extract it with the .bat I made using hactoolnet, edit the files, inject, replace on the Switch, unmount in hacdiskmount and move on.
This lets me avoid using things like Checkpoint or booting into custom firmware. Is it safer? I dunno. I've been doing this for a couple years but I can't guarantee you it's safe.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
