Japan and the US have the some power outlets. It's just the warranty in this case.
it will work but it won't have a warranty in the US. nintendo will still fix your joy-cons for free even if you don't have a warranty, though
The Japanese model wifi issue will depend on your specific wireless settings for 5ghz. Basically your home wifi router broadcasts 5ghz on different "channels" depending which channels your neighbor is using. In Japan, the number of channels a 5ghz wifi router can choose from to broadcast on is around 50. In U.S. it is around 200. So if your home router is broadcasting on a channel that is not available in Japan then your switch won't work with your home router. So your option is 1. Force your router to broadcast on a compatible channel or 2. Mod your switch so you can change the wireless region from Japan to U.S. 3. Connect over 2.4ghz network instead of 5ghz network

For most people this will be a non issue, but it absolutely is a possible issue.

Will not have a US charger in it, but a decent USB-C charger from amazon will work fine.

I have both US model that I had bought at a Target store(brick and mortar) and Asian version (Singaporean) online. Only difference were their warranties otherwise they are both same.

I usually buy the protection plan offered by ebay (allstate), I assume if anything happens to the switch then allstate should cover it, right?

I would not recommend this seller. I saw a Youtube video from JacobR buying a Refurbished PS5 from them and tearing it open. It was filthy and did not work even though this seller said they refurbished it. Plus if you really read the description on alot of their Consoles all they sell is Chinese Versions which do have issues connecting to some Wifi. Spend a few more bucks and get a US Edition which also carries a 1 year Warranty.

Cost is solely a reflection of the Japanese yen to usd difference. Quality and manufacturing plants are the same.
