Does the Xbox stop working if your Microsoft account gets banned?

Nope but your console might get banned from xbox live in certain cases (all consoles have similar).

To an extent, yes https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/comments/cj5b0a/what_h...

I skimmed this, but this goes over getting banned from Xbox Live, the network service, not a system that prevents you from using the console

It also covers your ability to use the console itself. It seems reasonably fair.

tl;dr The banned account can still play games in offline mode but can't re-download them since this is done through the XBox Live service. Other users of that XBox can do everything as normal including play and re-download games that were installed by the banned account.
