Option 6. It's way too early to discontinue the Switch. They should focus on new games, better online that is actually free instead of payed, and fixing joy-con drift properly.
 
No need for a new console, my pre-Mariko Switch is still perfectly suitable for me.
 

The first thing to do is determine if your Switch is vulnerable to fusee-gelee, the exploit we will be using to launch CFW.


This vulnerability was independently discovered by several different Switch hacking teams, and multiple variants of it were released to the public in April 2018 after a 90-day disclosure period ended. Nintendo and NVIDIA were made aware of the issue before the public release as a result, and Switch systems that are not vulnerable to the exploit started being spotted in the wild in July 2018. NVIDIA publicly acknowledged the flaw in April as well. In July 2019, Nintendo announced updated consoles, a handheld variant of the Switch called the Switch Lite (HDH-001), and a new model of original Switch (HAC-001-01) with better battery life. Both of these new models use a new processor called the T210b01 (also known as T214 and Mariko) with a new bootROM, and are not hackable at the current time.


Patched and Mariko units can be identified by their serial number. This number can be found on the bottom of your Switch adjacent to the USB-C port, or in the Settings applet at System -> Serial Information.
 
I am sitting in Option 6 because the Switch does have a lot of untapped potential in bringing nostalgia (old games from Nintendo's entire library from NES, SNES, GBA, N64. and even Wii) as well a new titles to it still.
