Doing this so that there's little software updating to do once the machine is paved. This does take a while because it has to download 8GB and turns a USB stick into a boot device. I believe I only have USB2 at the moment and that definitely will slow things down.

Lastly, there doesn't appear to be any noteworthy things to save on this machine so I should be able to wipe it without much issue.
Debating on whether or not to create an account for Brave. Alternatively, I can figure out how to script my configuration settings.
Another thought is around home directory scoped homebrew. Rather than repaving the OS, I may try frequent repaving of the home directory itself.
Going to keep this issue open to to document any leftover tasks that come up.
Been using the machine for a few days and everything seems fine.
