It’s fine if you keep the volume low and the FX unit has guitar speaker emulation. Just be careful not to overdrive the hi-fi inputs as prowla said... that will cause distortion in the hi-fi which is a risk to the speakers - the speaker emulation in the FX unit won’t then work because it’s before the distortion. You may we’ll find it’s not an issue though, since guitar signals are lower level than a hi-fi line level signal and you might find you have to turn the hi-fi up further than normal (I do).
Bass is more of a risk because an uncompressed bass signal has much more extreme dynamics than the bass in a music mix. I blew my first - luckily cheap - hi-fi speakers like that...

Football is rubbish.
The amp part of the hi fi will be fine, just got to watch the speakers if you play at high volume. At sensible volume it will be fine

For quite a long time I used a Marshall 400W Integrated Bass Series power amp for PA too - it sounded great. At the end of the day they’re all amps, if they deliver enough power and don’t distort then the type of speakers is far more important to the result.

Sounds great, especially with backing tracks playing at the same time.
I use the headphone out of HX stomp to the aux in of a little Bluetooth speaker.
It's along way from gigable, but is fine for sofa noodling.

I had the line out of my Vox DA-5 hooked into my main hifi for a while - sounded bigger and much smoother than the amp’s own speaker.
I played for about 4 years on electric guitar before I owned an actual guitar amplifier. Then I got a Hi Watt Custom 100, that was my first proper amp. Bit like going from a moped to a Fireblade
