Should I clean install Windows 11 on my new ASUS TUF A15?

Hey guys, I just bought a new ASUS TUF A15 (RTX 3050 4GB) and I'm wondering if I should do a clean Windows 11 install.

The laptop is basically fresh, so I don't have any important files to worry about.

For people who have actually clean-installed Windows on their ASUS TUF:

Did you notice any real improvement in performance, temps, RAM/background processes or gaming?

Did you face any issues with Armoury Crate, drivers, MUX/GPU modes, hotkeys, Wi-Fi, audio, etc.?

Is it worth doing, or should I just keep the factory Windows and remove unnecessary apps?
I mainly want a clean, smooth Windows setup. Would appreciate experiences from people who have actually done it.
