Rolleyes... Devs confirmed, its just the normal user that has a mental blockage, and would like to talk to devs again, one by one. Not taking that away from you - but come on.. What exactly dont you understand about "they fixed the glaring bug they introduced with 3.0.0 in 3.0.1, and the next sotware entry point we are working on also works on 4.1.0?"? If you want to stay in the middle you are waiting for something no one else is waiting for - but that might theoretically still exist (low chances of it mattering at all).
Also - the lead gets buried here.
Newer firmwares (pre Switch hardware revision) might be preferable, If you want to use OFW and the eshop - legally - but might require a modchip if you dont want to drag a PC/Smartphone, a usb cable and a jig around to boot into CFW (people are working on getting rid of the PC/Smartphone and usb cable requirement, but this will take a while) == those things might require a modchip to use sensibly in the long term.
Older firmwares will get into CFW via software only (1.0.0 "quickest", 3.0.0 and 4.1.0 "slower" (think 1min 15sec from coldboot - while 3.0.0 for the time being (remaining 2-4 months) has the best homebrew compatibility - until the playing field gets leveled) -- BUT you might not be able to go online with them (as the only "current FW" will be CFW and Nintendo might be able to detect it).
Also - every millennial and their best buddy will tell you to just update, or buy "any version", because they are vicious creatures, seldomly with the ability to engage in complex thought, who can't deal with delayed gratification, and that don't want others to succeed above their own position. So they smile at you and tell you to do as they did.
On second thought, thats just humans in general...

The great ancient Greek philosophers fall somewhere in between. For Socrates, virtue was knowledge; vice, ignorance. If man could but think right, he would then do right (orthodoxy leading to orthopraxis). Teaching, inquiry, relentless questioning -- maybe even a sort of remembrance of what we know or are (Plato) -- can unlock this inclination toward the good and right.
Aristotle was more pragmatic: the institutions of culture - if themselves healthy - could shape malleable human nature toward virtue. Virtue habituates in the denizens of a health society.

Of course it is better to get a "lower firmware" switch as of today (and depending on where you are living it might still be "easy" to get your hands on one at the normal price), because it allows you the most flexibility. But - if you arent fundamentally opposed to paying for a mod chip install in the future - a "always current firmware" (pre hardware revision) Switch with a modchip like solution, might represent the best of both worlds.
To our knowledge the hardware revision isn't out yet - unless it is.
