Certainly depends on the game.  Based on videos RE9 drops from 60 fps to low 30s, and no vrr in docked mode, that would drive me crazy.  Rebirth, based on demo, hits low 20s, which would drive me nuts.  I would take the Series S in those cases.  Not sure on the others, I don't follow too closely, because I go PC.  

On PC i often sacrifice resolution for fps.  1440p/120fps > 4k/60fps.   

I also thought Prime 4 at 1080p/120fps was vastly superior to 4k/60fps.  

I could be the outlier but I find resolution overrated while fps is fantastic.

I think native 1080p vs. 1440p are close enough on most PC sized displays, but 1080p balanced/quality DLSS vs. 540p to 648p TAA is a pretty enormous difference when it comes to image quality, and I would take the prior if the drops are mostly small few second drops in scene transitions (which seems to be the case for SW2.) >99% of the time the game seems to be hitting a 29-30fps target, just not 100% of the time like Series S graphics mode. And who knows this might be cleaned up a bit before release. The Series S performance mode also has stutters/jitters, so if the goal is consistent performance the locked 30fps graphics mode probably would be the better option there. If I were playing the game on Series S, I would probably just do the graphics mode, to be honest. Seems much better from an image quality & performance stability perspective.

New Star Fox looks great guys 🤩 So happy to be a Nintendo supporter. I can't wait for Zelda with RT global illumination, hopefully coming this year 🤤

Yeah Starfox is the first Nintendo game that really looks like a Switch 2 game rather than a Switch 1.5 game.

Mario Kart World, DK Bananza, etc were nice enough to look at but you could tell they started development as Switch 1 titles, this one looks noticeably more advanced.
