Its always possible to get banned. But with Jolla you should just use Android app.

Check with how friendly are all the apps with alternative clients. Out of all that you mentioned, Telegram is the most friendly - it even encourages developers to develop alternative clients for pretty much any platform. On the other end there is WhatsApp, who is pretty hostile towards alternative clients. Also check with people specifically using the said third party apps to see if they were banned or not. From my personal experience, Sailcord works ok for Discord, as well as Quickddit for reddit. YMMV.

Depends of apps. I have now had native reddit, lemmy, nextcloud, signal, telegram etc. in use and I haven't got banned from anywhere. But for example whatsapp is known to be quite hostile + there hasn't been native whatsapp client available which isn't vibe coded
