Following changes to its API access, users are forced to log in on the official Reddit app if they want to view NSFW content on mobile.

If you own a NSFW sub or are a moderator of one, you still have the possibility to see NSFW content over third-party apps / API

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

Only until they implement it properly

Seeing as they invested nigh zero resources on the API for years, maybe they never will?

You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn't need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.
