The Switch controllers don't have a touchscreen which would either mean they make the game work in Handheld mode only or remove the touchscreen functions which would make the Poketch useless.
Considering that when Nintendo made a second version of the Switch, they went with a handheld-only Switch with no docking capability... They have probably at least
thought about it...
I don't think it's
that likely, though.

It probably isn't actually that hard to display both DS screens on the Switch's one screen. Further, the Switch is also a handheld with a touchscreen, so it's not like they
couldn't retain or rework touchscreen support for the Switch. I won't say it's
probable that they would do it, but it's probably very
possible to port DS and 3DS games to the Switch in a fairly convenient manner (for handheld mode and the Switch Lite).
