I would personally recommend getting the original Switch model. Best of both worlds. I would also recommend getting a Pro controller. It is honestly the most comfortable controller I've used since the Gamecube! I haven't had any drifting issues with my two pairs of joy cons as of yet, but I only use them for party games and I only play certain types of games (mainly turn based RPGs) that do not require much action or precision with the control sticks.
As for games, it sounds like you are burnt out on open world type games (I could be wrong), but if that's the case I would recommend Super Mario Odyssey, DK Tropical Freeze, Mario + Rabbids, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Octopath Traveller, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Zelda Link's Awakening.
I have yet to play Astral Chain, but that looks promising as well, same with Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokemon. I actually recommend Let's Go if you are in to Pokemon.
Switch has tons to offer, and I think that it still has (at least) 3 more years of life left in it before a Switch 2.
