Split pushing in Silver-bronze is reportable, apparently.

I fell behind in my lane. I am playing a very mobile champ capable of quick waveclear/tower pushing.

I am behind vs a Camille/Darius, where if I try to go in a 5v5, I will be immediately CC'd and oneshot - so I spent most of hte game pushing sidelanes.

There were multiple times the enemy was about to end the game, but because of my constant splitting, they had to send people back to deal with me, and my team could clean up the remaining enemies.

The -entire- time I am doing this, my ADC is "?" spam pinging me, spamming in all chat to 9x report me for not going into a teamfight where I will 100% get blown up instantly.

The enemy team was securing baron, dragons, and was pushing as 5 into our mid inhib, but couldn't actually do anything because I was taking their side inhibs as well.

My team is cursing at me, spamming "?"s and being generally dickish, despite me saying that my actions are why we are still winning the game.

We actually ended up winning because the enemy team was so disorganized, and even though we won, my ADC still spammed 'report LB 9x' over and over.

If I had listened to the ADC and tried to 5v5, we would have lost for sure since there was no way we would win a 5v5 teamfight.

Is this actually reportable?

Anything is "reportable", in that people can report you for anything.

Will anything happen? No. Slit-pushing is a valid strategy, and while you should consider the needs of your team, you aren't responsible for their lack of strategic knowledge.

If you didnt say anything or inted, then youre fine. Idiots like that ADC just want an excuse for their bad play. Keep your mouth shut and pay them no mind.

People can report you for whatever they want. Reports =/= punishment. Riot will not punish you unless you unless you do fairly specific things that can be tracked within their system.

So to answer your question, no a random salty bronzer can't get you banned for anything.

You might get punished if you were away from your team and doing nothing so much that the system thinks you're troll farming/afk farming/throwing, but since you weren't doing that, you were actually taking objectives etc, no ur fine. Even if you were split pushing when doing so was a questionable decision, you won't get punished just for making a bad strategic decision.
