So far, have you had any problem with Instragram because you browse their website with a bot? Facebook is notoriously not pleased with that kind of situation and they have a few tricks up their sleeves to counter those bots.

Yes, that only occurs when you increase the speed of the bot.
I don't think browser automation will be a issue to instagram

You should mention that this is not a bot you wrote but a template for InstaPy github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy
At least don't try to get the credit for work which isn't yours.
