 do you have to go through a setup again or is it just good to go when bolted back on.

It's the same process t-type requires as after a rear wheel removal, bit of a faff with the whole tighten up, back it off line it up etc. But only takes a few moments to do once you know what you're doing.

Ive had wireless AXS and dropper post for about 2 years and it’s been great and makes for a super clean cockpit.

I did have an issue where I got a low battery warning on the wahoo head unit and got stuck in gear. It was the battery in the controller so make sure you take a spare or change regularly as warning to dead was about 15 minutes. That’s been the only issue.

I found this an interesting look at the ways and wherefores of electronic shifting

That is not a cold hard look.  It's a carrier bag of cliche, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of people going back beyond cables and all the way to friction shifters on the downtube
