Insurance will gladly deny you in case of accidents containing your licensed and jailbroken device. Don’t buy this shit in the first place

Insurance would have to prove the modification caused the accident by disabiling some safety mechanism.
Legally, software mods and hardware mods are no different, and people have been modifying their cars well before you could hack a seat heater on.

Insurance is generally not in the business of breaking contracts. If they have a legitimate reason to not pay, they won’t, but they won’t screw you over just because they don’t feel like paying. The risk is too high
