Are Reshade and Special K HDR safe to use with POE 2?

Title

Reshade is amazing for sharpening filters if using XESS upscaling and Special K is great for native HDR support which POE 2 doesn't have a proper working one without use of Windows Auto HDR which is fake HDR.

I'm wondering the same thing, I would like to use special k to refine the game's fps, I would like to know if it's safe and if I wouldn't get banned for using that tool.
Any news on this ?
Reshade has been bannable in poe1 and people have been banned using it. Its against TOS.

Tried SpecialK today, when you login game tells you that you running cheating software. No proper HDR, sad face.
POE 2 shows the message saying its cheat and will ban when we activate Reshade HDR :(
