Depends on context. I'm most situations I'd say it's simply respectful to use them and if you don't, then it's fine to deal with that according to the situation.

The one big exception is care. Wether it's somatic, psychiatric or social. If you work with vulnerable people and can't keep politics at the door, then I'm sorry but you have the wrong job. And yes I'm fully expecting the "don't feed into delusion" argument from someone.

I'm not sure how I'd deal with neo pronouns. I'd probably just use their name. I have no issue with they/them instead of neo pronouns.

I'd avoid using pronouns at all if I met someone into neo-pronouns. It's just not a reasonable expectation.
