What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?

Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it's one of the Switches that's able to be modified. I'm thinking of modifying it, but I'd like to know the upsides and issues first.

I had/have modded PS1, xbox 360, wii, ps2, 3ds and switch. Modded them all myself

I used/use all of them a lot but not the switch. To much hassle in my opinion. Keep it and play exclusives if you really want them. Safe some money and do the rest on a steamdeck oled. No hassle and play all the backups you want.

It's not really a hassle. Just inserting a sd

I know I modded mine already. But the constant fear of getting a ban because you forgot to block something or boot into the wrong nand. Its a lot more relaxed when you don't have to watch every step.
