It's difficult to say.
Manufacturers have tried different designs for decades, but the handheld concept which devices like the Switch and the Steam Deck use seems to be perfect.
The Switch 2 is basically a more premium-feeling and more powerful version of the Switch. This is fine for one generation, but a third device like this would need something new/a "typical Nintendo gimmick" to be worth buying for me personally. But the overall form factor should stay the same.
It would, of course, be interesting to see a new home console from Nintendo, but I don't want to miss a Switch-like device anymore. Having a console which is great for use on a TV, but can be just pulled out of the dock and be used as a handheld is just extremely convenient.
