I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

+1 for Mullvad! They were raided with a search warrant by Swedish Police who ended up leaving empty handed because the customer data they wanted simply does not exist

How's the speed on Mullvad? I have gigabit currently and don't really want to compromise the speed of my connection

Incredibly good. You will probably lose like 100mbps compared to without, at 1gbps.
