I did something similar a few weeks ago and found that https://rclone.org/ worked for me to automatically port Google Photos data to a Nextcloud instance with WebDAV. That being said, it cannot pull the original quality images, only the compressed version.

Perkeep devs built a tool to grab the originals: https://github.com/perkeep/gphotos-cdp#gphotos-cdp

I'm afraid Google will lock me out of my account if I use anything like this?

Why?

In addition to their always valid "because we can" this would also add another: revenge.

But are there any reports of people who use this getting locked out of their account? That would make me very leery as well. Otherwise, I wouldn't personally be worried, especially as the goal is to get off Google in the first place.
