Trying to pair a Switch Pro Controller as a virtual device by pressing + and - (which is needed to make the controller work with Steam) with joycond-0.1.0_p20210730-r1 does not work. Joycond logs an error about failing to open uinput with errno 1 (EPERM), the LEDs keep blinking and a virtual device is not created. This is caused by the unit file (as per the systemd-paranoia patch) not allowing access to /dev/uinput. Adding DeviceAllow=/dev/uinput to the unit file fixes the issue.
I can confirm this bug, and also that the fix works for plugging in Joycons with a grip via USB. I would much appreciate if this allow rule could be added!
