Seems like a total PITA for running custom software with softmod?

I was keen to modify my switch (unsure if it's patched or not as it's one of those serials right on the cusp) but reading that you need to rejig it and stick a payload on it if your battery dies feels like a complete pain. I know you can enable autorcm but obviously you'd need to disable to go back into the genuine Nintendo OS.

Anyone who uses their switch regularly and switches between these, how do you find it? I am guessing once you have a modified OS you probably just stay on that and don't touch the genuine one?
