Because it needs to be said (and because the thread title is more or less a giveaway)...
Nowhere in FFXIV lore is it stated that the opening and usage of chakra is inherently dangerous (save for the seventh and fourteenth which more or less require you to kill a monk of the opposing sect to open). Something I've run into, though, is that some people have a tendency to borrow lore from other settings, so let me make this clear:
FFXIV chakra have nothing to do with the Eight Gates that exist within the Naruto setting and are used by Gai and Rock Lee.
You can roleplay it that way, if you'd like, for added flavor. But there is no taxation of the body or risk of death with Chakra in FFXIV lore as there are with certain Gates in Naruto.
