After reflashing and before installing anything else it might be useful to do cleanup in /opt at least. Otherwise you will have some dead weight there which will be hard to find later.
This info is somewhat troubling.

Now that this firmware has been released, I'd like to completely wipe the device when I install it so that it's as though it shipped OOTB with this firmware installed.

There's absolutely nothing on there that I care about keeping, so I have no interest whatsoever in data being left behind in /opt and /home/user...

What exactly are my options? Should I flash with the eMMC image, or does that come with other possible issues I should be aware of?

Or should I do a normal flash and then rm -rf /home/opt /home/user

Help greatly appreciated.
