The CBO "rules" are the "community-based set of safety guidelines" spelled out in Section 336. What FAA is free to enforce is any modeler who does something that endangers the NAS. FAA has given guidance to their field personnel on how to do this and what FARs to focus on:

So I agree, the FAA is never going to come after you for doing something contrary to the CBO/AMA Safety Code, UNLESS it results in endangering the NAS.
