Well, one of the most respected Nintendo console emulators around, Dolphin, was developed in a clean room environment despite documentation being available due to leaks for this precise reason. To this day they’ve been undisturbed by Nintendo so that seems to be working alright.
It helps that they arent emulating a current generation. It thus makes it harder for nintendo to screech ‘piracy’ when the media is largely out of print.
