Full exhaust system

You'll need a tune or an ECU flash or engine damage can occur

If I kept the O2 sensors and the stock filter, I'd still need it mapped straight away?

Yup, because a full exhaust will run lean. You can damage pistons.
I had an Akrapovič open slip-on (CAT delete) on my 2014. An Akrapovič street legal slip-on alone requires no tune or ECU flash.
This can be found on their website, same type of warnings for full exhaust.

Akrapovič Slip-On with optional link pipe for Honda CB1000R must be used in combination with ECU fuel mapping enrichment, otherwise you risk severe engine damage!

Dealer burned thru the clear coat removing stickers.

Dealers aren't supposed to remove those stickers. I'll bet it was the original owner.

Not much I can do.

You could try Honda Polish. It may help, no guarantee.

what stickers were they removing??

US models have warning stickers on the tank

Why are you using the clutch on some of your downshifts?
