I heard it from someone (not me) that they've been using a modded spotify app downloaded from apkmody.io for more than a year now and it's basically free spotify premium. They (again, not me) say its pretty damn good, unbelievably good actually. They (NOT me) are pretty happy with it.
Would these people (that aren't you) say that you can use your normal Spotify account or do you have to start over?
When I came across the app (I think it was on reddit), users were recommending that you set up another account in case Spotify catches on and bans your account (so you don't lose your favs/playlists/etc)
And that's what those people (not me) did, they set their original account playlists to public so they can be accessed by the second account.
However for as long as they (not me) have been using that app nothing has happened to their account.
Also just checked, they (not me) have been using that app since august 2021 with zero problems.
Mind you, I still use it because it's pretty much the only option apart from YouTube front ends on mobile, but I would advise being very careful with the permissions you give it.
Yikes! didn’t know that! Really wish that there were youtube front ends with last.fm support, because i would switch from spotify in an INSTANT if there were. if invidious or piped just added the ability to scrobble i would cancel my spotify right now

use your normal spotify account and use xmanager spotify https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager
to my knowledge there have never been any bans for it
xManager is a bit sus IMO because they claim their installer is open source while consisting of 15000 lines of unreadable machine-generated Java code: https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/xc3fff0e/xmanager/MainActivity.java
They are also quite opposed to publishing the source code of the actual Spotify patches for rather vague reasons: https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager/issues/324
