If they catch me arbitraging, is that it, or will I just get hit by QS/smart pricing?

Getting the boot from Adsense shouldn't technically hurt your Adwords account. You're paying them, and they're making money, right?? Everyone's happy. But, just to play it safe, you should run your Adsense and Adwords using different accounts for both because you never know what bullshit policy google will come up with next.
You also asked, how easy is to to get banned? Well, that depends on what you're doing and how popular your site is. As far as Adsense is concerned, if your site isn't too well trafficked, you can probably get away with violating more of google's TOS on a regular basis. But since you're using arbi your risk is probably doubled.
Bottom line: if you're violating google's (albeit bullshit) TOS, you WILL eventually get banned and all your earnings are out the window.
