Which risk do you mean? Getting banned from accessing Nintendo's servers? Or bricking your console?
Hacking the Switch takes more effort than it did with the 3DS. You need a dongle to send the payload, plus a way to access the rcm mode, like an rcm jig.

Unless you are on a firmware not higher than 4.1.0. (Nereba/Caffeine Browser Exploit)

When you follow a trusted guide you should be fine. I used this one to hack my console: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/

The important thing is backing up your NAND and keeping that somewhere safe. Also never ever go online within CFW or install homebrew or pirated games to the system memory.
