Regarding Nintendo Handhelds, was the Switch concept inevitable?

DS was when Nintendo moved to 3D on handhelds. But you do have a point that their Wii U output was significantly decreased due to their AAA games requiring more resources, as well as them not being prepared in the first place. 

Technically yes but a majority of titles were still 2D on DS, 3DS is when you really started to see 3D being more prominent.

I'd say it was more 50/50. Like, most of Nintendo's releases, especially their in-house ones, were 3D games, or at least had 3D polygons like NSMB.
