DLC and bug fixes are downloaded as patches, once online support is gone you won't be able to download that stuff again. So if you buy a second hand cart after online is gone or you uninstall the game data after online is gone there's no getting that back. It's gone without a modded console.

For example:

Breath of the Wild is on version 1.3.1, all changes since the version on the cart you have will be impossible to get once online functionality is gone.
