Me (as in "you" in which do "you" use)? Nope, don't use any Android
apps on my Windows desktop PC so I don't need an Android emulator. The
above is how that person got F-Droid working for them under Windows.

Bluestacks

(free)

From the appzy9 site:
Is F-droid Safe To Use?
F-droid is the best app for download applications and also update the
pre installed apps.

Comical response. Never addresses the question. Like most software
authors and content providers, they idemnify themselves; see
https://f-droid.org/en/about/ ("use it at your own risk").

From https://f-droid.org/en/docs/:
It is a community-run free software project developed by a wide range
of contributors.

From https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Known_Repositories and
https://forum.f-droid.org/t/known-repositories/721, there are a couple
of official F-droid repositories. They do set some flags on some apps
(https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/AntiFeatures). 1464 apps have one, or
more, flags on them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Droid says "The
F-Droid repository contains a growing number of more than 2,300 apps",
so either only about 64% have been analyzed or only 64% qualify for
having flag(s) set on them or some percentage of some analyzed apps have
gotten flagged. Impossible to tell how many apps have been analyzed.
