Not certain about keyboards that allow macros..I assume since you are still there at the PC there should not be an issue its not as if you are afk etc.. but I am not certain about this nor would they really have a way to check if you are using a programmable keyboard.
Going off of Yoshi-P's past statements about ACT, I think this is probably against ToS, but they will likely never check for or enforce it. They don't want to get into the business of invading their customers' privacy by scanning our systems for third party hardware/software that violates the ToS. As he put it, where do you draw the line? Do they go after 16-button gaming mice?

As far as in-game macros go, they've deliberately designed the macro system in a way that makes the in-game ones completely worthless for serious fights: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post1520788

The wait time is always in second intervals, and the half second difference between a manually executed rotation and a macro will effectively cut your DPS down by about 33%. If you're just running solo content then go for it, but I wouldn't recommend it for group situations and difficult fights.
