It depends on usage, if you make an ARP poison attack on your home network, for example, it's not a big problem, if you make it on someone else network, can be a problem :). Also pay attention on SubGHZ frequency, country restrict free frequency range

Depends on your country. Usually it's the action of using it for specific things that are illegal, not just purchasing/owning it. But if you're caught breaking into an office with it, I'm sure many countries' courts would see that as additional tooling for the break in, for example.

Transmissions are pretty tightly regulated in most countries. Receiving less so but those laws can be pretty catch-all. Unless you enjoy static noise you're probably intercepting something and thus potentially running afoul of lawful interception rules.

Exactly laws & whether anyone cares are ofc dependent on your country

Your country may be of relevance to the question, but in most countries owning or using a flipper or similar, provided you do not interfere with devices you do not own, will not cause issues.

Flipper Zero was banned in at least one country: Brazil.

It's probably not illegal to own in most countries, but nevertheless won't be the smartest move to actively getting involved with it, the idea around it is just too malicious.
