Yoshi-P basically advises treating mods like Fight Club. He doesn't endorse them, but he doesn't outright condemn them either, under the pretense of everyone having fun with the game in their own way.
So, technically, it's against the game's Terms of Service, but there's no way to outright check for them. If you Don't Talk about Your Mods, you'll be fine. Lots of people use things like parsers, and those are enclosed and talked about in those communities (friend groups, hardcore Alex raiders, etcetera), so it remains on the down-low.
That said, the most popular one out there, to my knowledge, is FFXIV-App, which does a bunch of stuff. Install at your own risk, and Don't Talk about Fight Club.
On another note, it's possible that sanctioned mods and addons will be coming sooner than we think anyway.
