Switch off 2g

Can 2g be switched off with Samsung s24?

@Daniel00011 is correct, 2G is used for Voice and text, turning it off may result in you not getting calls and text

Hence most carriers are turning off 3G and not 2G

Why is 2g a security issue according to some articles? Is this something to worry about?

The problem is fake 2G "towers" that the phone might connect to them and the criminals might take control of your phone.

There is no problem with the phone connecting to proper networks' masts.

2G isn't required for calls you can make calls over 4G and even 5G

This option is currently missing on S24

I haven't tried it yet anyone want to challange this method?

That's not correct. In most of the world, 2G is obsolete and a security risk because hackers can use devices to impersonate a 2G tower. Google recommends disabling 2G reception on your phone if you are in a region where 3G and higher connections are readily available. Unfortunately, Samsung and some service providers have taken away users' ability to disable their phones from connecting to 2G signals, so those phones will remain at risk indefinitely.

My girlfriend's S23+ (Verizon) does not have the "Network Mode" setting. Not in the location you described,  and does not come up in a Settings Search. It also does not accept the MMI code that can be found online as an alternative method to disable 2G connections.
