Oops - Clean Install

[Nacho98]

Did a clean install of Catalina on my new 16", then had some issues with the Music app, so starting over with another clean install.

I completely forgot to deauthorize the computer and turn off find my mac and sign out of iCloud before doing so.

Is this a problem? When this install is complete, should I do the above and wipe it again? Just sucks because of the time it takes to reinstall, I'd be out 1.5 hours or so.

You're doomed forever. No, you're fine. I think you can deauthorize them if they have been shut off forever.

There's no point in signing out of everything and turning off Find My Mac if you're going to keep the machine. Simply sign back in once the reinstall is complete and you should be ok.
