Yeah would be tricky tbh as the height of the unit is essentially locked to what the Joycons are, you could possibly make it smaller in length so it's maybe a more square shape instead of rectangle and give the unit its own readjusted dock.

Even having different docks sounds like a recipe for customer confusion to me. Honestly I just think it'd be easier to stick with the size it is now and upgrade/modify other aspects like the screen, storage, battery life, etc.

The Joy Con compatibility issue is very simple to solve: you know the detachable plastic with a grip that we attach to Joy Cons? Nintendo could easily make an accessory like that to make the smaller Joy Cons compatible with OG Switch. Apple did this when they removed the headphone jacks from the iPhones. They would just need to pack it in with the new models (and standalone smaller Joy Cons) to assure everyone has a Joy Con compatible with older Switch models.
