This would almost certainly be the best approach all around for Nin. That way there's very little difference from the hybrid so not much work would have to go into it, and there would be very little impact on game development.
This would likely please enough of those Switch buyers that they'll just spend the savings on more Switch 2 games which would be a win for both, plus Nin would immediately open the door to many more consumers if they could make it around $100 cheaper than the hybrid. A $399 hybrid and $299 home console would no doubt help to grow the ecosystem.
Nin could always push boost clocks some beyond the hybrid for the home console, with some additional cooling and a bigger PSU, and put more of a focus on DLSS, but that would be more work and add some more cost, so perhaps it wouldn't be worth it.
I'd prefer a $399-$499 Switch 2 home console, but I know that's way less likely to happen because I think that audience would be much smaller than the audience you're talking about.
I would buy the weaker like for like Switch 2 you suggest, but only after a price drop down the road, because PS5 would end up my main console in that case.
