Does tolerant mean ok to do? Or it just won’t fry your chip but you should actually run at 3.3?

5V tolerant means that it'll accept 5V input (and correctly interpret it as high), but output will still be 3.3V.

It usually means it's clamped so it might result in a small amount of wasted energy/heat but no damage.
So yes it means it's okay but if you can you should go for 3.3.
