Safe...yes, mostly. Historically they have had some less-then-scrupulous advertisers, but the site itself has always been safe as long as you used some kind of adblocker or the like. Honestly I haven't really used the site in years (not since TS2 era), so for all I know they have even done a better job of curating advertisers.
Worth it...I'd say not really. There's plenty of CC available without paying TSR. Honestly, if you want to spend some money on CC, I think it'd be better to find some creators you like who accept donations and send it their way. Just mho, but the creators deserve the money...not some hosting site (one with a rather checkered past, I might add).
When I was playing Sims 2, I paid & someone started making small (~$16) monthly charges on my card. Took me awhile to notice since it was so small. I can’t be sure but it started around the time I got TSR VIP so I think that TSR was probably hacked or something & that’s how they got my credit card info. I still download stuff from TSR all the time, but I only use the free version. I will never trust them with my financial info again.

Never had an issue with being a VIP on TSR, and I've been one for almost eight years now.
Makes downloading mods much faster and easier, with a nicer UI with auto drop menus for quick download access instead of opening everything in separate windows. No waiting to download either and no ads.
Only a few bucks a month, and if you feel unsure about it, just cancel any time and you still keep your paid month. This way you can just get VIP for a month, cancel, and go on a download binge. Then whenever you feel like doing it again, do it for a month and cancel. Helps support the site and makes it much easier to download from it when you want to see all it has to offer.
Never spent a dime on TSR since majority of content put out is garbage other than the star players so to speak of their website that make decent content.
Waaaayyy too many ads and invasive ones, but I fixed that with an adblocker. Though you'll be forced to wait 60 seconds for a download if you use a adblocker basically being punished, unless you use the TSR blocker where you'll just skip it all together.
Personally I feel like you can find far better content elsewhere. I tend to get a lot of mine from Tumblr. Think the only time I ever go to TSR is for Madlen shoes time to time.

I can deal with the ads if it keeps my bank information safe, absolutely.
