I play mostly in docked through a JSAUX dock on my TV. It has it's issues, definitely not as seamless as something like the switch.
Sometimes the connection to the TV drops and it goes black for a few seconds, sometimes the TV doesn't want to see the input from the deck at all unless I reboot both, sometimes my controllers lose connection for a few seconds. Some of which may be issues with the dock of course.
Also, performance is mostly good for pixel art and similar things. With a lot of 3D games I have to compromise between graphics and framerate.
It's a lot of money for something that only plays certain games well. So I would not recommend it to somebody with my use case.
I had this issue for a long time, but it turned out it was just a bad HDMI cable. Swapped cables and it never happened again. Might be worth a try.
I already got this tip and got a new cable. Sadly it hasn't improved. I really suspect the dock, but I'm too stingy to switch that out atm.
