Whose stance? For SE, botting is just as against the ToS as the rest of windower. I don't think the windower team supports character automation either.
Also, while gearswap is capable of mostly automating a character, it wasn't designed for it, and isn't terribly good at it. You'd basically be coding a automation addon yourself from inside of gearswap. Better to use gearswap as intended, to manage gear swapping under various conditions. And then if you must, find something else if you want a mule automated. I'm sure there are various programs or addons floating around for that purpose.
Personally, I don't see any need. Using a combination of a switching program to swap between characters when needed without resorting to alt+tab(switchmon in my case) and making good use of the send addon to send various commands from the main character to the mule is more than sufficient to handle 2~3 characters.
I've played various combinations of Tank/DD + WHM/GEO and such to great effect this way.
