Oleanders have been used in landscaping for many many years without problems. The problems occur when horses, cows, other animals chew on the leaves and bark which are poisonous. Children have become sick from using the branches to cook hot dogs on, all this must be considered when planting.
You can certainly prune oleander - just don't put the cuttings in the burn pile as the poisons become airborne.
Oleanders require pruning for the best flowering. Remove suckers or water sprouts which develop along the main stem or from the roots. These inhibit flowering. Remove old flower clusters to increase blooms. Prune after the bush flowers.
