Switch Lite worth buying in 2026?

I’m not a “gamer” per se but I do enjoy playing some video games here and there and I wanted a smaller and cheaper console to play on. I’m a big fan of Nintendo games and have owned Nintendo consoles before and haven’t experienced any troubles with them.
I’ve heard some things about the Switch Lite with stick drift troubles, I’m not sure if that’s an actual common issue with it or if it’s caused from being too rough with the joysticks or something like that.
Anyways, I’m debating on possibly buying this because the price isn’t too bad. But, it was released a while ago and I’m not sure how it would hold up within the next years.
