Can I opt out quickly so I can see how the difficult things work? -> Yes, you can just turn off "Simple Mode": https://share.cleanshot.com/JmkgmflH

Will I get this flow every time I change computers, delete cookies, etc? -> No, settings are saved per user in the database. So it is synched across all devices and you won't have that problem.

How much will it bloat the experience once I'm an expert? -> Depends on the SaaS but ideally once you're an expert you just see all available features (as you normally would).

Thanks for the answers!

I like the options of muting or turning off simple mode, good job.

Fwiw, I have used products where the tour comes up every time you change to a new machine/browser. I assume this is because it's only loosely integrated to the application and doesn't know about users. Good on you to put the setting where it belongs.
