I think it depends on what you are describing as "PS4-tier." If PS4 Pro is also "PS4-tier" then Switch 2 is indeed roughly "PS4-tier" in terms of raw performance and above "PS4-tier" in terms of supported feature-set.
If "PS4-tier" means actually roughly PS4 performance, then this is only mostly true in handheld mode, which is only about 55% as performant as Switch 2 in docked mode, which isn't too far from the difference between Switch 2 and Series S.
Switch 2 handheld is roughly about a base PS4 with a modern feature-set.
Switch 2 docked is roughly about a PS4 Pro with a modern feature-set.
For running 9th Generation titles, those modern feature-sets matter.
