The issue now seems to be resolved for us with the Nintendo Switch. Minecraft just suddenly started working one day - I don't think we did anything specific to fix it. If this means the bug is fixed thank you.

Hi Jensen, we haven't found a resolution yet. He can play Minecraft on the Switch as long as it isn't online, but as soon as he goes online the software just crashes. We haven't been able to turn off automatic updates for resource packs as suggested in the possible fixes as we can't get to his profile settings before it crashes. He did buy some skins recently from the marketplace so I wonder if that is what is causing the problems. We haven't tried deleting and reinstalling Minecraft yet as we don't want to lose the items he's bought in the Marketplace and I'm not certain they will be saved as he's not logged in to a Minecraft account.

My son is having exactly the same issue on his Nintendo Switch. We've tried all the workarounds above apart from disabling automatic updates for resource packs in the Minecraft Settings>Profile screen as he can't actually get that far before it crashes.
