Is toilet overflow water dangerous?

Yes. Overflow from a toilet bowl with waste is Category 3 (grossly contaminated) water carrying bacteria and viruses; even clean-bowl overflow is Category 2. Porous materials it touches — carpet pad, drywall bottom plates, particle-board vanities — usually cannot be sanitized and must be removed. This is the key difference between overflow cleanup and ordinary water drying.

The toilet overflowed upstairs — is the ceiling below at risk?

Almost always. Bathroom floors are not waterproof membranes; water finds the toilet flange, pipe penetrations, and subfloor seams within minutes. If you see a stain, sag, or drip in the ceiling below, the cavity above it is wet and contaminated, and it needs to be opened, treated, and dried — painting over the stain traps the problem.
