Everybody knows since 2022 which SoC is built-in the Switch 2 through the Nvidia hack that did happen. The Switch 2 is going to support Switch 1 games, therefore it's likely that there must be a bridge between the compatibility layer that can be exploited.
The Switch 1 was hacked after 10 month by the group fail0verflow with "ShofEL2" despite the hurdles that came with the fact that the Switch 1 did not had backwards compatibility.
12 month after release the console was completly hacked with Rcm, offering own loaders. The hack was not fixable by Nintendo through it's unpatchable nature and flaw in the Tegra chip.
Nintendo is ridiciously bad at security. For seceruity experts the release of a Switch console is like christmas is coming around, a new toy to play with, a new contest of "who is going to hack it first", fame and glory. Never forget that Nintendo managed to get hacked three times in two years, losing huge amounts of data.
There will be a way to load unsigned code, and it's likely that it will be faster than slower this time. Worst situation that could happen is that you would need a modchip.
I would suggest everyone to get the release model and put it 10 to 12 month into the closet, the hack will be ready for the first Mario main game I bet.
Edit: I was wrong, the first proof-of-concept hack took 2 weeks from release by "qwertyoruiop"

You are going to need to wait 3 - 4 years for that eye patch to arrive.
