I would be okay with that method. It at a minimum authenticates an individual.

IIRC for the N64 controllers the Australian Nintendo Store couldn't keep them stocked for more than an hour every 6 months or so from when to first released in October 2021 to when stock stabilised in June 2023.

From what it hear it was similar on many other regions too, I don't think it had the effect they were hoping for.
