Tires are balanced independent of the car so a simple rotation to another position on the car isn't going to suddenly push them to be out of balance and will not ruin anything from rotating them.Depends on how good of a balance yoru wheels and how aligned your char is. My 2017 CRV went to 27000 miles without ever being rotated and the tires were still perfect, but I had cars that went to hell. I will say this. Don't rotate your tires unless you are doing a balance and alignment at the same time, its a complete waste and will ruin your wheels. I plan on 15k miles rotate/bal/alignment periods. Unless you have performance tires, they are cheaper to get new tires than getting rotations all the time.
it's true that some tires take more weights to get into balance then others and are therefore more likely to have balance issues as tires wear down and so those are usually put on the rear and rotating them to the front would show if they have gone out of balance more noticeably then it being on the rear.
Alignments that often are frankly a waste of money, especially on these cars, that would be like 3-4 alignments in the lifespan of the tires and you end up paying more for alignments then you do for the tires themselves, if your alignment is going out of spec that fast you either have a crappy alignment shop not tightening the bolts back down good enough, worn/torn bushings in the suspension (which no amount of aligning will fix) or you are practically aiming for every pot hole and bump in the road.
