Revanced is just an app with no special permission. It's not a firmware. It's open source. It can only patch an apk which you provide to it with standard android file-picker APIs.

The patch is totally open source, and the project is rather high profile. Where exactly is the additional risk here?
From a security standpoint, What's the difference between using revanced's open source patches and downloading literally any open source software from GitHub?
