If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

Correct, and they could technically be at risk of getting their account banned if they consider those as possible alt-accounts for ban evasion too.

What if somebody at, let’s say, a Starbucks gets banned, would every costumer be at risk?

Reddit should be able to tell by the number of different accounts that connect through an IP like that that it's not a home wifi network and treat it accordingly, the question is do they actually do that (probably cuz otherwise you'd never be able to connect through a VPN lol)
