Say that a tuple $f\in G^I$ vanishes at an ultrafilter $u\in \beta I$
if the support of $f$ is not in $u$. Let $N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}$
be the (normal)
subgroup of elements of $G^I$ that vanish at $u_1, \ldots, u_n$.
In fact, if $X\subseteq \beta I$ let $N_X$ be the subgroup of elements that vanish at each $u\in X$.
If $u_j$ is the principal ultrafilter consisting of sets containing element
$i_j\in I$, then
$N_{u_1,\dots,u_n} = N_{i_1,\dots,i_n}$,
with the latter group in the OP's notation.
The OP's question was (essentially):
if $G$ is perfect and $K\leq G^{\omega}$
is a subgroup of finite index, must $K$ contain some
$N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}$ where $u_1,\ldots, u_n$ are principal ultrafilters?
YCor answered this negatively by noting that if $u$ is nonprincipal
and $u_1,\ldots,u_n$ are principal,
then $N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}\not\subseteq N_u$
Andreas Thom, in his comment that begins "It is conceivable that $\ldots$",
suggests a different form of the question. True or False:
if $G$ is perfect and $K\leq G^I$
is a subgroup of finite index, must $K$ contain some
$N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}$ where
$u_1,\ldots, u_n$ are not necessarily principal?
This version has an affirmative answer.
To give an outline of the proof, let ${\mathfrak G} = G^I$
and define a mapping $\Gamma$ from the normal subgroup lattice
of $\mathfrak G$ to itself: $\Gamma(A) = [{\mathfrak G},A]$ (commutator).
This mapping is monotone
($A\subseteq B$ implies $\Gamma(A)\subseteq \Gamma(B)$)
and decreasing ($\Gamma(A)\subseteq A$).
If $A$ and $B$ are normal subgroups of $\mathfrak G$, write
$A\subseteq_{\Gamma} B$ if there is some $k$ such that
$\Gamma^k(A)\subseteq B$.
Claim 1.
If $G$ is any finite group (not necessarily perfect) and $K$ is
a subgroup of finite index in ${\mathfrak G} = G^I$, then
there exist ultrafilters $u_1,\ldots,u_n$ such that
$N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}\subseteq_{\Gamma} K$.
Claim 2.
If $G$ is perfect, then
$\Gamma(N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n})=N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}$.
Hence $N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}\subseteq_{\Gamma} K$ implies
$N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n}\subseteq K$.
The Thom version of the question follows immediately from these two claims.
Idea for Claim 2: A product of groups is perfect iff each factor is.
Hence if $G$ is perfect, so is $G^I$.
If $G^I$ factors as $A\times B$, then $A$ and $B$
are perfect. This is enough to show that the kernel $N_C$ of the
projection of $G^I\cong C(\beta I,G)$
onto a clopen set $V\subseteq \beta I$ is perfect.
Now if $X\subseteq \beta I$ is arbitrary, then $N_X$ is the join
of all $N_V$ where $X\subseteq V$ and $V$ is clopen, so $N_X$
is a join of perfect normal subgroups. This makes
$N_X$ perfect for any subset $X\subseteq \beta I$.
Now $N_X\supseteq \Gamma (N_X) = [{\mathfrak G}, N_X]\supseteq
[N_X,N_X] = N_X$, proving $\Gamma(N_X)=N_X$.
Idea for Claim 1.
If $A\lhd {\mathfrak G}$ is a meet-irreducible normal subgroup
of finite index, then it has a unique cover $A^*$ in the normal
subgroup lattice. Call the covering $A\prec A^*$
centralized
if $[{\mathfrak G},A^*]\subseteq A$, else noncentralized.
The proof is based on two observations:
(i) If $K\subseteq A\prec A^*$ are normal subgroups of finite
index in $\mathfrak G$, where $A$ is meet-irreducible and
$A\prec A^*$ is noncentralized, then there is an ultrafilter $u$
such that $N_u\subseteq A$.
(ii) If $L$ is a normal subgroup of $\mathfrak G$ that is contained
in every normal subgroup $A\lhd {\mathfrak G}$ where:
$K\subseteq A\prec A^*$,
$A$ is meet-irreducible, $A\prec A^*$ is noncentralized,
then there is a $k$ such that $\Gamma^k(L)\subseteq K$.
Here is how you put the observations together to prove Claim 1:
Using (i), find and fix an ultrafilter $u$ such that $N_{u}\subseteq A$
for each noncentralized $A\prec A^*$ with $K\lhd A$. Form
the intersection $N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n} = \cap N_{u_i} =:L$.
This group is contained in every normal subgroup $A\lhd {\mathfrak G}$ where:
$K\subseteq A\prec A^*$,
$A$ is meet-irreducble, $A\prec A^*$ is noncentralized.
By (ii), $N_{u_1,\ldots,u_n} \subseteq_{\Gamma} K$, which is what
is needed to establish Claim 1.
Idea to prove (ii): $L$ is as described in (ii)
iff $LK/K$ belongs to the hypercenter
of ${\mathfrak G}/K$, hence $\Gamma^k(LK/K)$ is trivial for some $k$.
For this $k$, $\Gamma^k(L)\subseteq K$.
Idea to prove (i): Suppose that
$A\prec A^*$ are normal subgroups of finite
index in ${\mathfrak G}=G^I$, where $A$ is meet-irreducible and
$A\prec A^*$ is noncentralized. To find an ultrafilter $u$
such that $N_u\subseteq A$ it suffices to show that for
each partition $I = Z\cup Z'$ of the index set into a subset and its
complement it is the case that exactly one of the projection
kernels $N_Z$ or $N_{Z'}$
is contained in $A$. Then $u=\{Z\subseteq I : N_Z\subseteq A\}$.
If $I=Z\cup Z'$, then it cannot be that both $N_Z\subseteq A$ and
$N_{Z'}\subseteq A$, since $N_ZN_{Z'}={\mathfrak G}
\not\subseteq A$.
To finish I must argue that if $I=Z\cup Z'$ is a partition,
then at least one of $N_Z$ and $N_{Z'}$ is contained in $A$.
This is accomplished by showing that if $N_Z\not\subseteq A\prec A^*$,
then $[N_{Z'},A^*]\subseteq A$, i.e. $N_{Z'}$ centralizes $A\prec A^*$.
If also $N_{Z'}\not\subseteq A$, then $N_{Z}$ centralizes
$A\prec A^*$. But if they both centralize, then the join
${\mathfrak G} = N_ZN_{Z'}$ centralizes $A\prec A^*$, contrary
to the choice of $A\prec A^*$.
So let's argue that if $N_Z\not\subseteq A$, then
$[N_{Z'},A^*]\subseteq A$. Since $A$ is meet-irreducible
in the normal subgroup lattice of $\mathfrak G$,
with upper cover $A^*$, $N_Z\not\subseteq A$ implies
$N_ZA = N_ZA^*$. By modularity, $N_Z\cap A\prec N_Z\cap A^*$.
Moreover, a normal subgroup $M$ centralizes $A\prec A^*$
iff it centralizes $N_Z\cap A\prec N_Z\cap A^*$.
But $N_{Z'}$ surely centralizes the latter, since
$[N_{Z'},N_Z\cap A^*]\subseteq N_{Z'}\cap N_Z\cap A^* = \{1\}\subseteq N_Z\cap A$.
