I've had to do this on new 3ds's in order to make the eshop work on region changed devices. The only way to completely delete the eshop account on your device is to system transfer to another device, as it fully transfers your eshop account to another device and leaves your 3ds blank with no eshop account
Hey, I stumbled upon this post, can I link a different NNID after removing the old one and everything works fine? Because I want to start streaming online games with my 3ds soon without giving away my public name, which is risky since my NNID literally contains my full name.
You should be able to create and sign in with a new NNID, if you had legit purchased content from the eshop though there's a possibility that it may stop working if you remove the account that was associated with it.

Ok, I will probably wait for the shop closure before disconnecting and reconnecting because then I wouldn't be able to use it anymore anyway. Thanks for clarifying!

Shop closure isn't going to make your purchased content stop working, you just wouldn't be able to buy more things anymore.
The reason why removing NNID and signing in with a new one may make things stop working is because the tickets associated with your legit content are specific to your console + account. If your account is disconnected and you connect with a new account, the existing tickets get invalidated.
I would recommend just dumping your games to cia with generic ticket, then you can remove your NNID and link a new one, and reinstall all your games from the files that you just dumped. These will work without needing that specific NNID to be linked, and you can play and stream them with the new NNID linked.
