Could you create a slipstream ISO using nlite, create a user and then it's bypassed?

The simplest way imho would be to use Windows configuration designer. It generates a file that automate windows oobe when put on a USB key connected to the pc during setup.

Easy way to create custom Win11 iso is using microwin from the Chris Titus win util suite

It's an open source textGUI powershell suite with hyperlinks to all the toggle tweaks, maintained by one talented MS engineer and contributed to and eyeballed by a hundred odd contibuters.

There are builds of win11 like Ghost Spectre that strip a lot of this crap out.
