Apple doesn't really care about individual hackintoshers. Some of their devs have griped about the uselessness of stack traces and logs coming in from hackintoshed machines (bogus errors produced by slight hardware mismatches, drivers developed by amateur community members filling logs with garbage, etc) but they've never gone after anybody who was hackintoshing for personal use. There's even been fairly big YouTubers who've done it without issue, and back when Macs were Intel only and had abysmal thermals/performance a surprising number of Mac/iOS devs were using hackintoshes as their primary dev machines that they submitted to the App Store with.
Where they draw the line is selling hackintoshed machines or any of the tools to facilitate the process. Eliminate financial gain from the equation and you'll probably be fine.
