This is already possible using an autounattend file.
schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is fantastic.
Use Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool, add the XML file to the root of the USB disk, reinstall windows exactly how you want it.
Generate autounattend.xml files for Windows 10/11

On pro editions of windows:

Choose sign in with work or school Domain join instead Enter a local admin username Leave the password field blank (it’ll skip the security questions) No to everything else Once on desktop, set password with CTRL ALT DEL

Or just hit shift F10 and enter “oobe\bypassnro” and let it reboot. Still works on home or pro.
Shift + F10 I believe, but your point stands. This is how I do it.
