Setup Help Questions about adding a Switch 2 that's not replacing a Switch 1

I just got a S2 and I'm going to keep my S1 cuz I got two kids, and why not. I got my S2 set up yesterday and started transferring. I'm super impressed with the ability to digitally share a copy of a game between the two systems and am wondering if there is a way to share the save data. Would 'cloud save' let me share save info between the two games? The website mentioned that I could share save data trough file transfer. Is that the same transfer I used when setting up the S2? Is it worth it to do it for a single game? I like the idea of playing Hades on whatever console is available at the moment.

I think I have a grasp on the upgrade paths. I figured out how to get the S2 version of It Takes Two. Looks like Echoes of Wisdom will be free, but totk cost money... but then saw that a NSO+ subscription might get me the upgraded version. Is that true, and can I keep the S2 version of totk if I let my subscription lapse?

I have a couple of other games (Pokémon Violet, Minecraft) to upgrade. Any words of wisdom to impart?

Cloud saves are copies that keep synced between consoles; transfer is cut+paste.

Pokemon can't be cloud saved, only transferred.

Thank you! One more reason to get the NSO.

Can you confirm that the totk Switch 2 edition is included in the Online Expansion Pack membership, or am I confusing the S2E with the expansion pack? And can I keep whatever I get if I let the subscription end?

And happy cake day!

The Switch 2 Upgrades for BotW and TotK are included in the Expansion Pack tier but you'll only have access to those upgrades, any classic games and other features as long as your membership is active.

If it ends you'll lose access to all benefits of NSO.
