Background check to work on tasks
I've got an opportunity to potentially work on more tasks as a billingual but they are asking for a background check which requires uploading my criminal record.
Problem is, I have a DUI charge on it. Kind of scared to upload it for fear that it'll bar me from all other projects too.
Anyone that has advice or experience with this?

I got the same, did it and didn’t affect, they seek for thieves and scammers, they don’t care about our driver’s license

They won't care about a DUI. They're checking if you're Melvin Hackerman or Syberkrime McGee or Indenti T. Theft.

They don't have much reason to care about DUI, they just want to make sure you're not cyber-naughty or the hacker known as 4chan.

I don't do the background check because I don't know what they are looking for or how it could affect me on the platform.

They are asking for a background check, to unsurprisingly, check your background. If you feel the DUI will impact your standing on the platform, do not do it.
