OLED displays don't get burn in as such. The problem is called pixel wear with OLED. The end result looks the same, but the cause is a cumulative effect over time rather than being caused by one big session of playing something. The key with OLED is to mix up the content you display so that the wear is as even as possible.
It is very possible to simultaneously share one digital copy of AC across 2 switches, and therefore have 2 separate islands just by buying one digital copy.
Child 1 has had a Switch for a few years, and all the family have their own Nintendo accounts on it. This Switch is therefore everybody's "Primary" Switch.
Child 2 has just purchased the Animal Crossing Switch with a download code. Their existing Nintendo account has been restored on this new Switch, while leaving the account also on Child 1's Switch.
The download code has been redeemed under Child 2's account, so this makes it available for download on both Switches from Child 2's account.
Child 2 can now play AC on their new Switch under their profile. This requires an online check because it is not their Primary Switch.
Child 1 can also play AC on their Switch under their profile. This works because this is Child 2's Primary Switch and their games can be shared across profiles. As this is the Primary Switch, playing the game does not require an online check.
@30mm I have a very similar setup, just one switch with 5 (in my case) Nintendo accounts. I also had your question in mind, and couldn't find the answer anywhere, so I tried it out using the 7 day free trial thing.
Signing myself up to the 7 day trial only gave my account access to the online service, so I think the answer is that you need the family plan to allow all accounts to access online.
You can however sign up each account for a 7 day trial, so everyone can give it a go. I had to turn off auto renew for my account, but not for my supervised family accounts.

Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time's Kokiri Forest Rivals World 1-1 As A Perfect Intro
I wish that I could go back in time and wipe this game from my memory.
So that I could have that first time experience playing it all over again.

Re: Fan-Made Website Which Helps Switch Owners Find Online Players Is About To Reach 40,000 Users
This reminds me of the origins of this very site, which was once known as abxy.org, and provided a way to find online players for the DS.
