using b450m motherboards with your ryzen 5000 series x is generally safe as long as you match the specifications. your current setup with a ryzen 5 2600 should work fine, and upgrading to r5x or r7x should be compatible. temperatures on the processor and vrm are important—make sure the new board supports your desired temps. double-check compatibility charts before purchasing.
Yes, it's quite safe; the VRM cooling could have some trouble with higher power chips like 5900X and 5950X. Above that range should work well as long as the airflow inside the case is good. For the 5600X and 5700X, there shouldn't be any problems—just make sure to update the BIOS.
