So EY LAW said there are risk traveling to Puerto Rico without a visa stamp even though it’s a territory and that travel should be kept to absolute necessary ones at this time. I understand from a lot of threads that there are no threats traveling to PR immigration wise but is it wise to disregard what they are explicitly asking one to do? They also asked to keep travel advisories in mind if I still plan on traveling there.

EY Law appears to be stupidly misinformed.

like

Travel advisories are usually issued by the State Department. Don’t think they will issue one for a US territory. EY law is overly cautious bordering on misinformation.

The risk associated with travelling to PR from an immigration standpoint is minor, but not unheard of.
If your flight is forced to land in a non US territory and even if you don't exit the aircraft, the CBP is required to check the admissibility of each passenger upon arrival.
I know this because it has happened to me once. On a flight from Abu Dhabi after CBP pre-clearance our flight had to land in Halifax Canada for an emergency, we never left the aircraft, but when we finally landed in NYC we had to go through CBP again.
