What exactly are you looking for? CBM specifically states their position in the
documentation. You are free, as a user, to do anything you want with your
system. CBM is free, as a manufacturer to tell you what they will or will not
officially support.

You now have all the input you need to make a decision as to whether you will
add an unsupported peripheral or not.
