Fine from a limited point of view. I’m trying to keep the revs down during the brake in period. Comfort was my go-to in A6 and would pull back the shifter to sports when using on-ramps etc.
Another observation, if you want to remove the left footrest to access the fuses, the screw at the top is a T-27, not a flat or Phillips, so the factory tool kit will not work. Also the diagrams in the manual do not match up exactly. Chances are, I will never needs to change a fuse.

Once I remove my bracket I think I need those two rectangular plastic inserts pictured on your grill to cover the holes where the bracket gets mounted. Just guessing as I have not removed my bracket yet. If you still have those covers after your install PM me if you are interested in selling them.
Here's a link that discusses installing them on a new Q7

If it's like the Q7 (& most other models) there should be "filler strips" available that just snap in to cover the void where the plate holder was. Should (eventually) be available from your dealer or online. But - they're expensive - at least for the Q7.

Q8 uses two rectangular pieces, very similar to an Allroad

bracket unscrews and then pivots off - it's a PIA to remove on these, but I've done it
Then you get the filler pieces from the dealer, which snap in place and cover the rectangular indents
Some cars use a singular panel (A4, A5, S5), some use strips (Q7), some use these rectangles (Allroad, Q8) as examples
