I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

Can you use real debrid to automatically grab torrents from a private tracker (maybe through autobrr)?

This wont be good for your ratio.

Sorry, do you mean using it in place of BitTorrent wouldn't be good? Does it not seed back?

I think the issue is often getting other people to download them. Unless you have very specific filters for which torrents to download, you could end up with a bunch of garbage.

It does not.
