After the 8th of April, will it still be possible to create a new NNID (Nintendo Network ID) and/or transfer a NNID from one console to another?

Short answer: No.
Longer answer, due to legal issues methods to fake those things cannot be argued until Nintendo completely drop any support for the 3DS and Wii U and having such a ID can't be used in Nintendo servers.
No faking Nintendo IDs for the 3DS or Wii U until it becomes pointless for Nintendo to sue about that due to all 3DS and Wii U stiff going offline as Nintendo will no longer host it.
Thank you for this information, everyone!
What about this type of NNID transfer (where the original 3DS/2DS is broken or missing)? Will that still be available after the 8th of April?

If the original system is broken or missing you need to call Nintendo to do a system transfer.
You can still buy one later but you will be limited to physical games only unless you hack it. Oh and forget about getting updates or DLC.
Honesty just buy an old 2ds or old 3DS and hack it, they are still quite cheap.
A Google search for [will 3ds system transfer still work after april 8 shutdown] turns up https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2...ill-still-be-possible-following-eshop-closure which has a statement straight from Nintendo.
Of course updates will still be available. (But not DLC, unless you purchased it before.)

That search result says the end of buying new licenses on eShop won't have impact on Re-downloading, system transfer and online play.

It has been far too long since I used the transfer to fully remember. At least at the beginning no NNID was even needed to start a transfer and I guess this is still the same. Since buying on eShop is even older than NNID, it was possible to buy games without ever signing up (only risk is that Nintendo can't help you restoring things if a console breaks in the same way they can with NNID).
The only real intersting case would be a system containing purchased games without an account. Can these licenses be moved? Of course also internal save data, step history, play statistics and all that rubbish if someone cares.
I guess most people chose to sign up anyway when buying games (it was nagging enough for having many obey to shut this up)... so they already have an account, which should still be movable the same way as before.
Thank you for your answers, everyone! I will try to buy a new console of the 3DS family as soon as possible.
Really really really hack it, downloads won't be available forever.
