I can probably find out, though I'm not sure what impact it would have
on the driver. Does this laptop have a physical rfkill slider switch
from which you can somehow query initial state via ACPI or GPIO? If not,
then I assume the desired behavior is to just enable wwan and bluetooth
upon every boot ?

Agreed.
