Your risk of damaging the PS2 by softmodding is basically zero since it doesn't involve any hardware modifications. All I did was buy a memory card from eBay with Free McBoot preloaded. It utilises the system update feature to add various stuff. Since the "update" is stored on the memory card, you can get everything back to normal simply by unplugging the card.
