Yeah, disconnecting tubing on AIO typically voids its warranty. This is for a reason. The tubing on those are not really meant to be disconnected, and so as I said, you risk future leaks if you do, and none of the companies are going to rma if you did it yourself.
Custom watercooling can be tedious but...the kits nowadays are getting easier, close to the sort of aio system you want. Something like:

which shouldn't be too intimidating to set up. If you're willing to pay for two AIOs, price wise, this kit won't cost you that much more than those two AIOs together.
Maintenance...well I can't say anything about it as I haven't done it but from everything I'm reading, yes it does require a lot more work than an...

Ok, what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? Is there an issue with quality or performance? Is this an aesthetics thing?
As for swapping parts, because these are all aios, not meant to really be disconnecting the tubes and swapping them around, I would be very concerned about possibility of future leaks should you go that route, even if the sizes of tubes/attachments did fit across different brands. I mean if you're going to be swapping parts, why not just go for full custom cooling system. Then you can customize everything, from tubing type and color and transparency, to liquid, the kind of plates etc.

Its for aesthetics. I cant afford custom watercooling plus the maintenance. if it really is risky then I wont do it

If you're dead set on aio though, just get a different one that has more of a look you're looking for without requiring any further work from you.
