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.

Others have already given you good answers so I'll weigh in on the emunand / not getting banned thing.

I spent a long time trying to get the emunand set up and working on my switch but kept hitting some sort of error (it was almost a year ago so I don't remember specifically what the issue was). After a while of trying I realized that I was trying to avoid getting banned from an online service I never once used and never planned to use, and now I just use the switch in airplane mode. I've read that the system keeps a log of what's been done and will upload it to Nintendo if it ever reconnects, at which point I very well may be banned, but I don't really care enough. Being in airplane mode makes sure the switch can't try to auto update itself as well.
