They should have fixed this issue before they released the Lite consoles. What makes it worse is that you can't take the joy-cons off on the Lite version, so to get it repaired you have to send the whole console away to be repaired. The best way to see if your console is suffering from drift is...
I would maybe see if you can get one of the original ones preowned as it would be around the same price and it offers more features, the main one being that you can play it on your tv. Have a look a the other differences, personally, I think its worth that little bit more than the Lite.
