For me, this was always a weird topic. Armanen runes have nazi origins, but I personally learned them from Franz Bardon's work, specifically under his pseudonym Mistr Arion. His work was basically a limited translation of S. A. Kummer's work.

While I do know the origin of the runes, the Man pose meditation has become my go-to tool for increasing my power over the years.

I personally like the symbol of the Black Sun. But can use it safely only in private. No pendants or so...

The bad origin of something doesn't necessary make it evil. Some things are better to be kept to yourself, but I don't think that runes have that issue much. Master Arion used Younger futhark as it was available to him, as far as I know, and it is used sometimes among pagans still.

I see no problem, definitely far lesser issue than some specific and known symbols.

Think the ´´Armanen runes´´ was the default system for runic magic untill the 1980s when other systems were developed so no blaim on Bardon (or Samael Aun Weor et al). I prefer newer and non-völkisch versions, just because well I do. The Algiz rune is not exclusively armanen. If I would go deep-dive exploring a runic system I try Johannes Bureus´s---it´s from the 1600s, could/should be interesting.
