Homebrew Can hacking my Wii U get me banned, or is it unstable?

Title says it all, I modded my Wii, modded my DSi, and my Wii U might be next,

Banned from what exactly, im pretty new, but i dont think MiiVerse is still around for WiiU

No, I don't think anyone has been banned yet. Just don't cheat online, and you'll be fine

Wii U is not big (yet I hope) in Homebrew scene but take a lot of advantages of Wii Homebrew like overclock and play Wii/GC games with gamepad. Is everything stable for now and we dont expect more updates to block hack. Be Banned like @ry755 said Is just for cheating online I think, but at all is everything ok

Nintendoesn't care about the Wii U

Will it get you banned: Only if you cheat in online multiplayer.

Is it unstable: If it works fine normally, it works while hacked. Poorly made mods & homebrew might crash, but that's it.

Just dont go online with cheats or mods that change gameplay (skins should be fine) and you should be fine

You won't get banned for using homebrew/cfw.

I wish this was the same for the switch..

If it crashes, can it brick or something?

Also, remember when Nintendo launched a new System Update for no reason with it only saying "We've made some improvements and bug fixes."
I think Nintendo tries to implament something.

No. the 5.5.2 update was ELUA changes. And Also no it can't brick if it crashes. (unless it crashes when installing a application. But that is impossible.) But if your running something like mocha cfw using webrowser hax, yah there is absolutely no chance to brick. Mostly because a lot of wiiu exploits and homebrew only function in memory. Meaning it's not permanent. (Exploits like haxchi, coldboothax, and I guess webrowser are semi permanent. As they require to be ran to have signpatches, unlike let's say the 3ds where you turn it on and immediately have signpatches)

There's always a risk of a ban whenever you hack your consoles, but then again, I don't think Nintendo cares about the Wii U that much, (unless you cheat online.)

This would only happen if it crashed while updating the firmware. There probably won't be any more updates for the Wii U.

5.5.2: Patched browserhax, but only kind-of, so we just use less stable browserhax.
5.5.3: EULA change, and only in Europe. Side effect: disabled CBHC on European Wii Us, but it could still be launched and reinstalled.

Well Nintendo doesn't care about the Wii U anymore, so you probably won't get banned since you only cheated once.
