I got a pretty great openwrt router, I want to set it up as privacy respecting as possible.

I am aiming to set it up offline as much as posssible before giving it network access.

I have always used ISP provided units so this is new. It comes with adguard and such but I am thinking about a fresh install to be safe?

Yeah. Probably the better approach. But I was just doing this for a friend that didn't have a router with vlan. Was the approach in my brain. And once the MAC is blocked it's idiot proof. No chance of someone plugging in Ethernet to the TV.
