Is There someone who got banned just for doing this? I’ve seen a ton of people saying they went online and everything and no ban.
Unnecessarily risky. Is a custom image worth the potential risk?

Or as some people are saying - the inevitable outcome?

Bad idea. Even if you're lucky and don't get banned immediately, having a custom picture like that would be suspicious at best for Nintendo. You will almost certainly get banned sooner or later.

And to think they wouldn't even need to know anything about yours switches statistics or logs. They could just look at your picture profile to know youve been up to something no good.. like shooting fish in a barrel lol

Yes, you’re putting out a straight red flag for Nintendo to see you in the literal sense

and why would nintendo care for a user who has a custom profile picture? I mean of all the users on the world, how tf they are going to find me? They search and ban guys who play games ilegally....

sorry I Dont know how to explain myself and my english is not the best.

Let's be factually accurate okay guys? Literally only one person was banned for using homebrew. Not LayeredFS. Not SX OS. But a GBA emulator (I know it was an emulator but I think it was GBA). He also cleared error logs on 5.X which SciresM already stated is unsafe. Everything else besides LayeredFS and SX OS hasn't caused a ban. Yet.

EDIT: I think I also know where the confusion arose from. When the LayeredFS bans were pouring in, 2 users claimed to have only used Homebrew. However, if you go through their posts, you will notice they were trying out LayeredFS. To be safe, I removed them as saying No to using LayeredFS until they tell me otherwise (which they haven't for a few weeks now). So, its down to only one confirmed case which I did ask if he used LayeredFS or not.
