The only reason users are not updating at the moment is because there are unreleased exploits that work up to 4.1 that don't involve a jig and USB cable to load hacks but instead involve loading a webpage. If you don't mind having to use a jig and USB cable to load hacks every now and then, you can update.
If you want to update, I would recommend this guide as it will allow you to return to 4.1 at any time while you enjoy the benefits of being on the latest firmware. It should be worth noting that the guide will leave you with AutoRCM installed as a means to prevent you from accidentally burning your fuses when running a higher firmware. It can be removed only if you have another method that you have 100% confidence in that will boot you into RCM and not burn your fuses.
If I just want to update firmware, delete my users, then go back down to 4.1 and to where I am now, that should be fine right?
In retrospect, that might have been a better alternative since initializing the console was not un-linking the account. The guide may look long and daunting but it is designed that way to be as noob-friendly as possible while reducing the chances of a mistake to nearly 0%. Feel free to use that guide to update quickly to 5.1 and return back to 4.1 once you have done your business.
Follow these in order. It's what I did and I'm very pleased with the result.
(to go into recovery and home brew install)
(to backup NAND)
(install SX OS)
PS: Sorry to the person who may or may not see this and get slightly disgruntled again for referring people away from gbatemp. I guess some people are uptight about keeping the conversation here exclusively? *Shrug*

Well I just realized something...
Ok so my Nintendo Account has never bought anything online, so really if that gets banned not biggie, I can just make a new account. Only thing I cared about was the stupid Nickname I got, I didn't want to lose it, since anytime I ever signed up for Playstation or XBox, the nick I used was always taken.... So I thought I am going to see if I can rename it and then make a new account with that nick name....... Well lol, you can put any damn nick name you want! If the account gets banned, just pop in a new e-mail and the same nickname probably and you should be good to go lol. So not sure what I was sorry worried about and wasting my time for nothing lol.
Going to dig right in tomorrow now when I wake up lol

Not sure what you mean here. You cannot stay offline and update the firmware. If you mean to stay offline after updating, that is fine. If you are staying offline to stave off a ban, you can still update all of your games and system firmware if you are banned.
Exactly, i don't want to go online after hackin the switch. So i have to decide before hacking it if I update tue firmware to rhe last version or not?
So is it bettzr to stay to tje tjder firmware orndowbload the thst (before hacking) (becausebim afraid that tje next new game ask a newer version)
According to this thread, the highest firmware needed to play a game without online functionality is 4.1. You can check if any games you want to play need a firmware equal or lower to that to answer your question.
Hi all, just backed up my 4.1.0 NAND and used my 32gb sd card for backing up.
If i were to try using this method ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-update-to-5-1-without-getting-banned.511040/ )to update without burning fuses and to use my 200gb SD card and followed by installing SX OS on the 5.1.0 system, what should be the way to go? Just needed some directions, thanks a lot.

Just follow the tutorial and use Hekate until you reach the end. After you have finished following the guide, you can go back to using SX OS. It states it very clearly in the guide in the red text
