If player on your table play Risky strategy (every PPs and JTo+, Ks+ As all in pre flop), are you willing to take risk at early stage (lvl1-5blind) and what cards you will want to have?

There is nothing wrong with "taking risks" early in a tournament, but it needs to have a positive expectation (+EV). So if I think, I am ahead of the maniacs range with some reasonable margin like say 55% equity, then I call, if I close the action. If the maniac bust me, thats not a problem, because I always have enough money to reenter to play another similar tournament. If there are still players left to act behind, I tighten up, because I also need to consider, how much I am risking against them. Like maybe calling off a 70BB jam from a maniac with TT is profitable in itself, but if 6 players behind could all wake up with JJ+ and call as well, then maybe I pass.

If their vpip 50 to 60% and ripping all in in the regular, im playing my standard ranges and loosening up on what i will call his all in with.

If he wants to donate his chips, im more than willing to play the odds and go with my +ev hand vs his wide jamming range.

Just shoving every hand that looks somwhat pretty isn't risky, it's ultramaniac strategy and -EV in a long distance, ofc you can shove few times early in tournament, someone will call, you'll win a showdown, build a large stack and then put pressure with your stack, but it's something crazy and it's gambling, not a poke.

You can try to play it a few times just for fun, but it's not something how you would make money with poker
