That's true but I think it's very likely that either the engine is more adjustable than we think, or they are making stuff to compensate for the limitations. The port has been in development since early 2018. Which means that when the game launches, it could have been in development anywhere from a year, to a year and a half. That's a long time for a port, even if the team is small. So I do think it's somewhat likely that, even if your scenario was true and it would be hard to just adjust parts of the games assets, it's possible they did in fact make new lighting/effects for the game. And by "new" I just mean "worse", lol.
That's funny, I was just going to mention the fire sequence

Yeah it was the fire scene that made me lean towards it being genuine Switch footage. The cutscene bits are clearly pre-rendered, but the gameplay looks real-time. I really look forward to Digital Foundry's breakdown on this one, and not just cos that will basically decide whether or not I buy it haha

Damn, you're buying your games based on graphics? 
I will say that if that Senua's facial animations look as legit as ever.

I'm just guessing and am in no way a graphical expert, but maybe that's why this port is even happening? Game is very linear, not a lot of enemies on screen, and I imagine the parts where the graphics really excel over other games (the parts I bolded) are going to be cut down significantly, if not removed. If I recall correctly, there's been a few Switch games which had to change the lighting system to compensate for the lack of power, for example.
I also have to wonder if the version shown at the direct is even the Switch version, or just what a Switch version could/will theoretically look like.

Judging by how horrible AC3 and Dead by Daylight looked, I think Nintendo has a rule that all footage shown in the direct has to be from a switch build.

Hahahahahaha, true. I'm not saying it isn't the Switch version, just wouldn't be surprised if it was more a build of what a Switch version will look like. I agree though, it probably is the Switch version.
Also, I don't hate Ubisoft but, c'mon guys. Fuck that shit. Looked awful. You could do better!
