We have not had any sites be de-indexed because of an advertisement code - with redirect or not - but it might be that the golden days of blind redirecting mobile traffic is over.

You make me double lol - first,google been brutal for years,starting from pushing their own sites when searching,censoring certain keywords,removing data based on certain pattern,and dont let me talk about panda and penguin...
For example,years ago there was a big drama lama beacuse google suddenly deindexed almost every smart thumb based site,you were only able to find your site if you typed domain.com as keyword.Luckly,that drama finished after 11 days as then suddenly all rankings was restored.But it shows what google can do.
And second,mobile redirect golden years stopped since new regulations in germany,since then price started to drop like rock from sky.If i am not wrong average price for publisher is now 10$/1k among best paying countries.Or for example,last time i checked usa mobile publisher price it was only 2$ for 1k.
And there is one trick if you want to avoid this scenario regardeless what type of ad you serve:
-dont serve any ad to usa geo,as all google ip which i checked always contain us adress
This might be problem if site traffic is mainly from usa,but still it is better solution then no serving ads at all.
