Are there any privacy friendly Discord clients or frontends?
I have the impression it’s against their TOS to use an alternative client, so is it worth it to even use one?

That is not true. A few people have been banned because they used BetterDiscord. It’s rare but it happened before. That’s why I stopped using it.
This has only ever happened because of plugins that hammer the api
But still I wouldn’t risk it because it’s against the TOS. It can happen and nobody knows if they ever take stronger action.
I’ve used them since 2016. I really doubt anyone has gotten banned for anything other than using plugins that spam the API or access experimental features you’re not meant to have.
The risk is yours to take though so, fair enough.
