what is cold boot and how does this answer my questions?
a cold boot (in layman terms) is basicly a way to apply changes to Firmware while the device powers on without the need of any external input (such as the dongle/button presses).
There as of now is now public known way to archive such a cold boot on the switch but once one is know all currentc cfw are likely to be able to make use of it.

You can install a trinket which will deliver the payload automatically at boot.

Wait for a cold boot hack and you will be waiting a long time...

I heard reinx wasnt permanent but want to know if it is true.
There is no untethered coldboot exploit for the Nintendo Switch yet, so for now, you will need to use RCM to launch ReiNX. In other words, you cannot make ReiNX permanent. If you keep your Switch in sleep mode instead of powering it off when you're not using it, you don't have to worry about having to relaunch ReiNX, and it will be like it's permanent.

Untethered coldboot is theoretically possible on 3.0.2 and lower, but it will probably be years, if ever, before we have something like that.

if not can i boot my switch propley without injecting the payload?
If you don't have AutoRCM installed, then you can still boot your Switch normally without ReiNX, but pirated games won't work without ReiNX.
