Nintendo only allows for up to two downloads of a digitally purchased copy of a game, and next year, i'll have three Nintendo Switch systems (NSW 2017, NSWOLED TotK, NSW2). I would either need to pull out my NSW2017 to play some digital games, NSWOLED to play other digital games, and NSW2 to play another subset of digital games...or I can just purchse the physical copies, and use them on all my systems (as well be able to share my library with my brother).

As far as I know, you can have more than two Switches for the same account. Only one of them can be set as a primary console for playing digital games offline, the other Switches are "non-primary consoles" which need internet connections for these digital games (Wi-Fi at home, Wi-Fi hotspot of your phone, public Wi-Fi...).

Each of these devices can have installs of your complete Switch library at the same time (if the microSD-cards are big enough), so no need to split them into subsets.

I also doubt that you will still often use your NSW2017 outside of your home Wi-Fi after the Switch 2 launch.
