It is, lol.
The 256GB on board storage just has to be large enough for any single game.
SD Express cards from Samsung (800MB/sec) are coming this year, although really there's nothing stopping anyone from storing just using bog standard current SD Cards. People have tested this stuff on Steam Deck, using even old SD Cards work fine.
If you're downloading like a large game such as Call of Duty or say a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth type of game, I would keep that on the main internal storage, and then just have a SD Card in the 256GB-1 TB range depending on how many games you feel you need to be able to play at one time.
I'll be picking up probably a 512GB Samsung SD Express card when I get my Switch 2, that's 700+ GB of storage, very high speed internally, high speed enough even off the SD Card itself.

I'll be picking up the 256 SD Express before Switch 2 launches but I would like an idea of the pricing. Are we talking 1TB SD pricing like for my Series X? Any idea on how much that 512 will cost for SD Express?

I have the same question to be honest. I am not finding many SD express cards at 800 mb/s that aren't $200-$300 for 512 gb. Doesn't seem like they are readily available, at least not at Amazon or Scan. Maybe Nintendo will have to sell custom expansions themselves? I kind of get these cards are rare and not available. Cameras don't need 800 mb/s, thus the market for fast SD cards is niche?

SanDisk Extreme PRO Cfexpress Card Type B, 256GB, Up To 1700MB/S, for RAW 4K Video : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Not sure if that is the same thing people are thinking for S2 storage expansion. Kind of pricey.
