If you're on 10.6 then your situation is similar to mine. If you want to be able to patch everything including downloaded paths you're going to need a custom firmware. In order to get that you need to downgrade to firmware 9.2. You can only downgrade to 9.2 if you can get your firmware down to at least 10.2-10.3. Here's the sticking point however: In order to get from 10.6 to 10.2 you need a hardmod on your 3ds (physical modification to the hardware) and a backup of 10.2's firmware. If you don't have those you'll need to send it to someone who offers this as a service. That's gonna cost you time and money. I've already got someone lined up and will likely be sending them my N3DS in a week. Thanks Treehouse, I really needed all this hassle in my life.

So it looks like my plan is now to downgrade to 9.2 with Homebrew, then install Reinand, then get the patch going. Seems doable.

Does that really work? Can a CFW patch a digital version of the game and its DLC? Actually, is there even a CFW for New 3DS? Edit: apparently ReiNand CFW works for N3DS.

Can I trouble you for some clarification towards my specific situation? Provided I have OoTHax on 10.6 and a digital copy of the game, what patches can I expect to work. More specifically, I don't care to use the Japanese audio patch, the dub doesn't bother me personally. I'm more interested in restoring the accessory shop, Amie, butchered names, and the support path dialogues. Kana's S rank supports suffered from a particularly atrocious case of nosy editing from what I've heard. I'm also curious if I'll be able to patch the other two paths considering my initial copy is digital.
