weigh your options and decide if reinstalling is worth your effort(s).
when i received my aero 15, it was through a local shop vendor (i ordered it through the shop). and even before that, i requested that he did not open the box until i arrived. the laptop arrived, the sticker intact, we opened it on spot at the shop, did a visual check, and the first thing i complained was the bloatwares. Granted, this is a gigabyte laptop and their gigabyte bloatware(s, i didn't choose to reinstall everything during the first 2 days.
when something is even slightly bit off, i would choose a reinstall to appease my own sense of safety and privacy. if your laptop behaves just exactly like the way you want it, then there's no need to reinstall and just remove any bloatwares you think not-necessary.
P.S.: and as always, if you choose to do a full reinstall: do a full backup to an external drive, just in case you screw up.

If I have two NVMe slots, how do I ensure they're striped BEFORE installing an OS?

i don't know, i don't own a RAID 0-ed laptop.
but if you're buying the laptop with RAID0 already setup, then all you need to make sure is to not break the RAID array. and shortly after typing this i went and googled this one out for you : Linus' Intel RAID setup on desktop.
it should be similar enough on a laptop.

And what confused me is he changes it to Legacy and not UEFI.
I ASSUME we use UEFI however, since we want GPT.
