What do we reckon the chances are that we'll see Nintendo allow Switch 1 games to be played in docked mode on Switch 2 undocked?

A lot of S1 games are 1080p docked so would look great on Switch 2's screen.

I'm not sure I can see Nintendo being that charitable though...

Sadly, it's not a straight forward 1:1 conversion really. Handheld mode requires UI/text elements to be shrinked and modified to accommodate with the smaller screen they were played on.

You'd need individual updates for games to make something like this available.
