And then the issue of when the streaming service removes the choice; the card become obsolete.

Not that bad of a ordeal though.

With only a little bit of effort you can prevent them from becoming obsolete. Most straightforward way is to just reprogram the nfc chip. Alternatively, Just add a redirector, one that maps show names/ids to the urls.
That’s the easy part

The annoying part is reprinting the sticker and attaching it to the card

Easier to download the shows and save to your plex server. Then it'll work even if your Internet connection stops working.
Just peel off the vinyl printed sticker you attached (See OPs updated cards), and reprogram the card.
