3DS barely made the cut according to OP's criteria so I don't imagine it to be any easier for the Switch when reviewers have higher expectations/standards than ever and JRPGs are still stagnant but let's take a look at what we have so far ...
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Lost Sphear (probably won't get an 80 metascore)
Atelier Lydie & Suelle (series only had an 80 metascore once out of the many releases and versions so likely same deal as above)
Dark Souls
Dragon Quest XI
Fire Emblem (doesn't count according OP)
Project Octopath Traveler (could easily suck like most of Acquire's other projects since their best remotely recent project, Rain still couldn't reach an 80 metascore even under Sony's supervision so I don't imagine SE to be any better when we take a look at I am Setsuna or probably the upcoming Lost Sphear)
Valkyria Chronicles 4
The World Ends With You
Ys VIII
Shin Megami Tensei V
Tales of (only just reached an 80 metascore with the latest entry on PC out of the many last entries)
Pokemon
In the most optimistic scenario OP is looking at 12 physical retail releases with a metascore of at least 80 so far and the rest of what OP mentions such as Persona 5 getting released on the Switch along with the Legend of Heroes is nothing but pure hope ...
