On Original Hardware (Nintendo Switch V1/V2/Oled): Do not bother. The Tegra X1 chip simply cannot sustain 60 FPS in the open zones. Even overclocked to 1.7 GHz on the GPU, you will see drops to 45 FPS during battles with four Sparks active. The mod will run, but it will be a stuttery experience. This is a mod for emulation first.

Issue: Audio crackling.
Fix: In Emulator settings → Audio → Change from "Auto" to "Cubeb" and increase audio latency to 150ms.
Assuming backward compatibility, the mod may still apply—but with native hardware, a 60 FPS patch may become unnecessary if Ubisoft releases an update. As of writing, no official announcement exists.
