is it possible to customize the request for quote in SCS? We want to provide the ability for customers to upload files

You could probably do that with SCA. SC would probably be really tricky

How bad is it if I do it in unsafe mode by accessing Core methods/modules?

It all depends on what you do!
Coming from a naive position (as I’ve never made this customisation before) my thought is that you would need to change the way the service operates so that a file is uploaded on submit to a part of the account’s file cabinet
So it would require changing not only the frontend modules but the backend ones too
So “how risky is this?” well, you’re potentially changing an entire group of modules, either by replacing/overriding them or by extending/wrapping them. When the source bundle automatically updates you could be in for trouble if we ever do something that messes with the fragile away you’ve applied your customisations
My only other thought was to create an entirely separate ‘file upload service’ that uploads files completely separately from the rest of the quote and then attaches it later on, which might be less fragile but more work
But I’m not an expert on these kinds of customisations 😄

Thanks for your insights
that is a good suggestion
