If I were to Homebrew the Epic Boons of the DMG as Wonderous Items and post them for anyone to use, would that violate the Terms of Service?
Similarly, I have gotten the Magic: the Gathering Planechase races from Browsing Homebrew a couple times only to find them missing a few months back. Was there a takedown / purge of this content (I'm assuming for similar reasons), or is it more likely those users deleted their accounts?
Do not publish homebrew items that are not the category of item they're set to be. For example, publishing a magic item that grants a mage armor bonus, or in the case above, a wondrous item that grants an epic boon (there are homebrew categories for epic boons/supernatural gifts/dark gifts etc)
Do not publish homebrew copies of official content as this is a violation of copyright/IP rights. This covers epic boons (published in the Dungeon Master's Guide)
Do not publish homebrew copies of content you did not personally create. This covers anything from Plane Shift, which is property of Wizards of the Coast and has not been given open license to be published

But we can still create it for our own private games without sharing anything, right?

Yeah. You can do basically anything you want as long as you don't publish it.
