but to act as safety pilot for someone under the hood.. you have to hold at
least a private pilot certificate and be qualified to fly the aircraft


Nope, you just need to be rated in category and class (presuming the aircraft
doesn't need a type rating).

some will state, that if it is a complex aircraft, you need the complex
endorsement, same for high performance, or tail dragger


That is only required if you are going to be pilot in command.

A safety pilot is not necessarily pilot in command.

A guy helping in an aircraft or operation only requiring one pilot is
called a passenger.
