Got the Left JoyCon working!
This implementation uses GDExtension and libhid to get the controller's information. This was very helpful when making it. I think it'd be possible to get the IR camera's info in Godot, too. I also got it to work on Web using the WebHID API and the JavascriptBridge singleton.

Finding a schematic diagram for right joycon!
So recently i dropped my right joycon and it stopped working. When I opened it i found that right shoulder button had broke of the motherboard and metallic piece was shaking around inside. This is not the main problem (cause i know the testing points on motherboard that i could solder to in order to fix the button). After i removed broken button and assembled it back i discovered that my joycon now only works in handheld mode. Also the console is reporting that the battery is low. So i disassembled it back and checked the battery and the pins on the connector itself, everything was ok. I then tried to supply power externaly (5V to JC pins 1 and 4, as stated in this github repo: https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering) and it connected fine wirelessly. So now i thinking that maybe there is some fuse that had blown up cause of that metallic piece. The problem is i could not find any information about fuses that may cause this and also i could not find any information on testing points (like VBAT). I will appreciate any help in finding some kind of schematic diagram or just info about fuses or testing points!

Anyone know if the flipper can emulate a controller for Nintendo Switch? Basic functions like power up?
I know there is some work (on the protocol) done over there: https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering

Nintendo Switch Controller
https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering is the most comprehensive source of documentation on the controller and protocols involved. Most of the communications are described in the bluetooth notes, but the protocol for wired is the same, just wrapped up with some additional headers (see https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Joy-Con)

Steam Client Beta - August 4th, 2022 Update adds full support for Nintendo Switch Joycons
Given they credited this project (when looking at SDL_hidapi_switch.c), unlikely.

Why does nobody make a wireless controller bridge?
People have reverse-engineered the entirety of joycon hardware for no reason other than curiousity.

Betterjoy and Dolphin versions?
I think I should use the software Better Joy for Dolphin: https://github.com/yuk27/BetterJoyForDolphin, which is based off original software called Better Joy that works for CEMU: https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy.

Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Create a Kinder World
I want Skyward Sword to be released on the Switch for exactly this reason.
Actually, it appears possible to use Switch controllers with Dolphin using this[1]. I may have to set this up in the near future.
