Sounds great, however I am scared that when I do this, Google will flag my account, and if I need to use their other services, like Google Ads, Gmail, YouTube etc. my account is suddenly blocked because of [insert arbitrary ToS violation]

I work for Google Search. And no, we won't. Moreover, the form doesn't require anyone to be logged into to file a request.
That's a random thing to be worried of. That's not going to happen.
I am fairly sure I was banned from AdSense for saying "don't forget to subscribe if you liked this post" on blogspot, although they never told me why so I can only guess since it happened soon after I started ending my posts with it.

It was my only source of income as I had just graduated and losing it completely pivoted my life. Now I see Youtubers say it daily and it still reminds me.

What makes you think you were banned from Adsense for saying something that common?
