Question about region swapping

[ZackVee]

So I just got a couple of Japanese 3DSes, one old XL and one "new" OG. After putting luma on both I think I am ready to region swap. With eshop close looming there isn't a ton of reasons not to, correct? I also read that region swapping can break extended memory games but you can fix this by formatting the system after the region swap. So once I finish region swapping I should format the system to be proactive right?

That's correct.
