I quickly realized how badly i needed 200W tires and better brake pads haha. As long as you learn to respond to the feedback your car is giving you shouldn't have any issues.
I'll be honest, it depends on the driver. When I went the first time I wasn't exactly pushing my car to the limit as I was getting a feel for the car itself. Once i got confident and learned the track that made me start to look at the weaknesses.
Outside of insurance, all the expensive items...
I know you asked about Autocross, but just throwing this out there. I found the track experience to be more enjoyable.

Yeah their instructions aren't exactly the best as it kind of reads with instructions for two versions rather than just the one that is applicable to the one you actually purchased. I definitely had some trial and error moments installing mine.

The duct is being split between the Oil cooler and the Brake duct. Not sure it's enough to actually affect the brakes as much as Pad/Rotor choice and or track.

Biggest improvement would be the ADS and brakes. Pre face lift owners like to knock or bash the Honda Sensing like it's this bigger deal than it really is and how theirs is a more raw platform.
I’m running the Nankangs. 265/35 on 18x9.5’s. I’m lowered on Swifts but had my fenders done a week after install cause of rubbing. Love the performance they hold really well.
Keep in mind you will need the scanner tool to properly do the rear brakes. Some members here have had hit or miss success with doing the rear brakes on their own. To me its better piece of mind to have the dealership do the rear, but that's just me. The front is very easy though.
TBH, any intake should be easy to swap out back to stock. DP on the other hand is going to be a pain in the ass. If you keep the stock heatshield on you should be fine with a catted DP( I have a Rv6), as it isn't as noticeable and could pass a visual inspection if they don't really know what...
