So the workaround would be to make an NSFW sub, then make it private after a couple days?

Make yourself a mod and patch with revanced and you can still see nsfw content. For now.
🎶 crackin' down on fun, over at Reddit🎶
It is ultimately a way to further cripple 3rd part apps. Thus, making the official Reddit app look better by comparison. It’s not certain if Reddit will get rid of porn, because while porn sub-reddits don’t generate ad revenue, a not insignificant portion of Reddit’s user-base visit porn sub-reddits, making Reddit a good one-stop-shop for a user’s media related need. So while porn doesn’t generate ad revenue, it brings users, users who also visit other non-porn sub-reddits that do.
I just tested with Relay. I can view NSFW subs. I should note my account seems to be flagged as NSFW for posting to interestingasfuck after it went NSFW.
So reddit continues to fight its own user base...
PSA: Hardened browsers (desktop or mobile) are still an option. I know it isn't but it would be difficult to convince me that the official app is better than even that.
TLDR: Hhhhhe he said "hardended." uh heh heh...
