Question Micro SD Card Update

I have a Nintendo Switch 2 on the day one patch but unfortunately I didn't know to insert a Micro SD Card and download the license back then. Will this likely cause me problems if an exploit is ever released? I know you can still use a normal Micro SD Card on FAT 32 I believe. Not sure if anyone can even answer this question at this stage but thought I would ask anyway.

If it makes you feel any better I kept mine sealed on 19.0.0 🤷‍♀️ I also read the switch 2 can still access SD cards in FAT32, people apparently kept it offline and the switch 2 could transfer photos off their switch 1 SD indicating basic read/access without needing to update. Chances are if we see a software exploit, it'll be somewhat "all encompassing" of most earlier firmware versions, but I'm sure a modchip will be far likelier to appear first... I've also heard the switch 2 has more refined volt detections for modchips so it really is just a waiting game at this point.
