It's a known issue which is why the modding forums aren't yet open. Stuff like this should be fairly harmless though, IMHO; and while I haven't yet got any official feedback, I suspect it's very likely that the devs/QA people/etc will have considered the likelihood that some people will try to mod the game from day one. So my personal opinion is stuff like this is okay: it's not like anyone is creating major add-ons with scripting and stuff like that.
There is data to be collected though. I mean, if a significant number of people are using a particular mod, then it tells Larian that what's in game is insufficient, and gives them an idea of what players would prefer to see. Like tieflings not being weirdly limited on hairstyles.
Well technically they should see what options people pick with the mod as they are all vanilla ID for the models. As i assume they receive the data for the specific option rather than the id used.
Would be interesting to find out for sure tho
Larian did comment on the lack of outrageous character designs a little time ago, so your mods should be helping with this!
