I just cut the whole top of mine (Front and back), sanded it and now i basically have an open air official dock
I actually think that the issue was mainly happening when updating to 5.x firmware while connected to the doc. So maybe just a precaution just undock your switch for updates?This opinion may be unpopular but i think the bricking by third party docks issue is quite overblown.
I choose to risk it with an "insten" brand dock and power supply that i got for sub $50CAD when an ebay coupon and item sale coincided. been great the last six months with occasional use.
No it has to do with Nintendo on purpose making the power delivery different to try to make it so that only their dock would work. Most newer ones take that in account and work now but before they didn't know that and that's what caused the bricksI actually think that the issue was mainly happening when updating to 5.x firmware while connected to the doc.

Damn, I only have RCA jack docks
Same here, no problems so far.I have this one:

It uses the innards of your REAL Nintendo dock, so there's no risk of bricking, and it makes it super portable! There's also better heat dissipation.

It's not a big enough deal to me. It's not even needed in my opinion.Same here, no problems so far.
But in the official Dock has a led and the cases didn't have the "slot" for it.
