I'd argue this is actually a bigger loss than the Switch emulator closing up shop, because the Switch is still actively being sold and developed for.

The 3DS is dead at this point, and Nintendo shut down the online shop. I have a 3DS with a bunch of digital games I purchased and downloaded onto the device that I haven't gotten around to playing yet (mostly JRPGs, because 40 hours a pop is a tall order). If my 3DS dies and all the emulators disappear, I'm outta luck.

Time to start lobbying Atlus for a Radiant Historia Switch port, I suppose...

Anyone manage to find a mirror of the source? I didn't know that Citra would've also been caught up in the kerfuffle.

This should be the latest nightly:

I understand this is a repository of backups too:

Also, there is another good Switch emulator (Ryujinx) that people could reasonably use instead. The same is not (yet) true for 3DS.
