Reed would be dangerous but he wouldn't be any more dangerous than Doom in-universe, i.e. in the comics. His PIS gadgets are deus ex machines, they exist primarily because someone has to stop the big bad threat - in the context of villainy though... he wouldn't have them as the plot wouldn't need them.
A simple example would be (under similar circumstances) Superman using the miracle machine. If he went rogue, using the same logic people are applying to Reed, wouldn't he make the miracle machine? Afterall, with his eidetic memory he has the schematics and the engineering process locked in his brain. In universe that wouldn't happen. We've already seen what an evil Supes using his brain can do, the same would apply to Reed.
Reed would only be the most dangerous in a forum scenario, in character and in comics he wouldn't be much more dangerous than any other super intelligent villain out there. Basically a less cool Dr. Doom.

Not if Reed prepped well. IMO, Reed can do almost anything, like grant himself super powers, create weapons that can be threats to Cosmic beings (like Galactus), time travel, etc.
I say he rids the world first of anyone who can stop him. Doom would be taken care of in the very beginning along with some others.
Remember Reeds absurd fantastic 4 armor the one that failed miserably. The giant mecha I forget which comic and issue though. Evil Reed would not care about the power source and use the souls of human babies. It would then be turned to win.
I still say Reed because he already comes up with asshat crazy inventions to stop threats when it would otherwise be ethically distasteful for him to do. I can make a bet that 95% of the things he wants to build he doesn't because it would just be too much for the universe to handle. Evil Reed not limited by those pesky morals builds things that makes Doombots look like tinker toys.

I'd have to wonder how much of a mean streak Reed would develop if he turned evil. Sure, he gets some sort of change, but still...

As to Dr. Strange turning evil. He's allowed to use black magic from time to time until his morals catch up to him. As to turning completely to evil then the Vishanti would pull the plug on their power and items that Classic Strange leaned heavily on like the Eye of Agamotto and the Book of Vishanti. He would be heavily nerfed which has happened before when he turned down helping the Vishanti fight a 1000 year war. He rebounded by sapping into mother nature's power so to speak but in my opinion wasn't quite as powerful as the classic Dr. Strange and while he still was a solar system threat plus pocket dimension threat it would take him longer to go after anything more. I do remember the Vishanti wanted to combine their Vishanti gifts with his new power to make an ubah Sorcerer Supreme.
