Can you get legit VC games on your Wii if it's softmodded (Homebrew, Dios Mios)?

Yes

Yes

You just do it like normal? Sorry, I'm a bit paranoid about these things, since Nintendo tries to brick Wii's with HBC D:

Yes, I've done it myself plenty of times.
They don't deliberately try to brick Wiis as far as I know, that's a side effect of their boot2-flashing code used to overwrite BootMii, which can sometimes go wrong. The Shop Channel has no way of detecting the existence of the Homebrew Channel (I suppose it could check installation tickets for that of the HBC, but I don't believe it does). The only function that could detect and remove the HBC is updating the firmware, which hasn't been done in years and is unlikely to be done again (there was a minor update to the Shop Channel since 4.3, but it doesn't affect the HBC).

Okay, thanks :D

Wait, the server going away doesn't affect VC, does it?

No. The Shop Channel is still open.
