I have some caribbean red hot peppers and THEY ARE freaken HOT!! last time I checked there at the top of the list of hot peppers..
should I be worried about using them as a repellent?? Can high levels of capsaicin harm plants, leafs, soil microbes??? Or is it just the smell that deters critters?

But, in answer to your question, although the red Caribbean is Really Really hot...neither it or the hottest (Bhut) In My opinion/experience will harm your plant or soil microbes...
