The more I read about IA, the less I seem to understand.
Minsc as Kensai, Edwin as Wild Mage, and a bunch of others that leave me wondering...

Does IA change those characters, does everyone use ShadowKeeper or some such (I admit I do, but usually only for visuals such as colours and different avatars, and the occassional alignment change), or are multiplayer games with powerful custom characters necessary?

Some does use SK to alter certain NPC to be better suited to IA I guess. You don't get into trouble by changing the colours? Many others have reported that changing coulours may cause crashes.

Yes, it can cause crashes. There are certain colours for the different parts, meaning "metal" can only have metal colours, and might lead to crashes if "hair" colour is assigned to it. Unfortunately I don't know where to look up which colour range is valid for what, so this remark is only half helpful.
EDIT: Found the information. In SK, if you look at the fields where the colour can be set, you have to make sure to stay in the range. For example:

hair colour: 0x00 to 0x09
Armor: 0x1A to 0x1F

etc.

That should work.
