I use it and don' care much but it's definitely Torrenting so if you are in a country with bad laws and very paranoid you whould probably use a VPN but just know that the few actual lawsuites that came from this bs are at best symbolic and your chance to get hit by a lightning is probably a lot higher.
Using a debrid service is paying for a third party to do the torrenting, so your IP is not in the torrent swarm. Your ISP knows you're using the service, but they don't know whether you're streaming illegal content, which means there are no grounds to subpoena neither the ISP nor the debrid service logs.
a VPN is probably not needed imho.
I am not a/your lawyer.
