Honestly, it probably would’ve been used on troop concentrations rather than a city. The reason cities were chosen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were because, absent an active invasion, there were no heavy troop concentrations of the sort that would have emerged as a front developed in an invasion of the Japanese home islands.
Was there even close to enough precision to try to bomb Obersalzberg as a statement? Nuclear or no, it was not a huge target and I know it had anti aircraft defenses

Enola Gay dropped it’s nuke from 30,000 feet which as fas as I understand was well out of the practical range of AA guns at the time.
I would guess that altitude makes targeting an issue but obviously precision with that type of destructive weapon isn’t really a concern.
