OK, so, I have a couple of questions:

What's the worst that can happen if I don't use a VPN while pirating?
Are free tier VPNs (like Proton VPN) good enough?
I don't want to pay much or anything for a VPN, is a way I can get a good free one, or set one myself somehow (I have experience with selfhosting) ?
If not, which cheap one do you recommend?

EDIT: I pirate mostly movies, and rarely some TV series.

What about port forwarding? Mullvad p***ied out to the IP holders and dropped it

Good point. I guess AirVPN would my my 2nd choice. But for my setup I don't actually need it.
