I think the Cloud Save system is working as intended for the most part. It's just really slow when it coms to backing up old saves that haven't been in use or that could be bugged. They're waiting to be uploaded but I think the system has no reason to force them through quickly for some reason.
However...
Any game you currently running though gets uploaded automatically. No questions asked as they should. If you clear out the "waiting" message you can manually upload the older saves right away. The issue is waiting for the system to upload older and non-in use saves.
I also think too that making sure one's router is a recent one is a good bet as well. I remember around launch when we were talking about this a LOT of people had very old routers. They were still working fine but they should have been updated a while ago. I remember updating mine at the time overall just got better coverage then what I had before.

This. It also seems like the Switch wifi parts aren't givne as much power as they should be. At least that's what I recall reading around launch. Yeah using the 5ghz network is best since many things don't use it by default. That and have your Switch closer rather then farther away from the router.If you're on wifi, make sure you're connected to the 5GHz network. It gives a lot of trouble on standard 2.4GHz.
