I just bought my kid a used Wii U for Christmas. If I only care about his ability to play games offline, should I be concerned?

The NAND issue is what to avoid. https://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/11q733p/whats_is_the_...

Thanks for this. Fortunately we got a white Wii U, which it sounds like shipped with Samsung nand and is unaffected by this issue.

no, nintendo ships complete playable games.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was an unfortunate exception to this rule. Seeing them drip-feed features already present in the previous games doesn't bode well for the future of the franchise.

Easy to jailbreak the WiiU if they lock you out of your games

No I don't think so.
