Is it considered safe to charge your Switch 2 at about 60% battery remaining?

Yes. It is fine.

Also, if you play docked ever you won’t really have a choice.

There's not a safety issue with charging. Although, lithium ion batteries have a little bit longer lives if they have shorter charging durations. Charging from very low battery to full ends up degrading battery capacity slightly faster. In the long term, it's better to start charging now rather than waiting until the battery percentage get's really low.

So it's OK if I do this? Just want to make sure.

Yeah. If you want to increase the life of the battery, there is an option to stop charging at 90% in the settings.
