Obviously it takes some effort, but if you have an original switch you can pull your save files off of it through jailbreaking tools. I've migrated most of my indie game saves over to my Deck.
I've looked into it and I believe my switch is still one of the easy to jailbreak models. My wife has a lite (and the save files) but I never really looked into how to jailbreak those. The stardew save editors look pretty simple from some research and I will probably attempt to extract our farms if we get decks.
Edit: Modded switches can't go on Nintendo Online correct? If not, buddy of mine has ones so maybe use that and restore from cloud saves and extract, unless that leads to account flagging/deletion.
So for mine, all I needed was an extra MicroSD card and a plastic jumper insert for booting into dev mode.
I can boot into "hacked mode", extract save files, and then shut down, remove the MicroSD, and go right back to normal mode.
