Since this is running a lightning node on your wallet, it means it will have intermittent connectivity depending on the cell network and the device giving it some background time.
Doesn't that run the risk of your peers considering you unreliable and force closing?
Not necessary. Mutiny is a private (unannounced) node with unannounced channels.
That means are necessary to be online only in the moment of payment.
Is true, you can get a force close channel in case you are paying a hold invoice and in the path you get a stuck peer with your HTLC. In that case is better to keep your Mutiny online until is confirmed / settled the payment, to avoid a force close.
Mutiny is NOT a public routing node - keep in mind that.
Only public routing nodes must stay online 24/7.
