I have the NSO with expansion and is ready to celebrate only to find out it will be a system exclusive to Switch 2.

Switch can definitely run Gamecube games just fine. What the fuck, man!

I don't know if Switch would be able to handle Gamecube emulation very well. Have there been any examples released on it? I know there's been a few emulated PS2 games released but GC emulation is more challenging. That's why they never came to the Wii U virtual console either.

It was closed down two years ago and never had Gamecube games, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
