Is it safe to visit Babilonia neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro as a tourist?

I read on the internet that it's one of the safe and tourist-friendly favelas.
On the other hand, when I went to Rio and ordered an Uber to go there, two drivers told me they won't enter it because it's too dangerous and unless I have friends inside I shouldn't go inside either.
I've only been to Vidigal favela, which has a lot of tourist infrastructure and I have confirmed before with locals that it's safe.
