Trust me, NI and especially Xilinx would like you to have access.

I haven't noticed any bugs, at least in what I have experimented with,
but as a non-FIRST project I would like to start working with a FPGA.

I understand the concern for safety, though it shouldn't be in every VI especially in the ones used for input (Accumulator, encoder, etc.).

Could the ones that wouldn't comprimise the safety layer be released somehow, or somewhere(Firstforge)?
