so I’ve had problems getting linux to actually setup properly but the functional preview on the boot USB stick itself works without issue, so can I just run it that way, or is that going to limit functionality in some way?

+1 to all of this.
For ~3 years I ran a Debian system off of a raid 1 of 2 USB drives. I didn’t have the spare drive bay slots in my cs24-ty and I didn’t have the room for an expander.
SanDisk apparently didn’t consider my use case “warranty-voiding” and were content to replace them whenever they failed. (I was honest during the first warranty inquiry about how they were used; I doubt you could get away with this with modern SanDisk though) I had a 3-year warranty on the drives, and checking my email, I replaced a total of 11 over the 3 year period. The first 7-8 were before I moved logging to a zfs dataset on the spinners, which helped a lot as those 7-8 failures were all in year 1 with the constant journaling, writing, and syncing of mostly logs.
TL/DR: great for testing if drivers and hardware work; don’t do this in production
