Speedrunners might download a mod to skip setup entirely, not a single option.

I'm pretty sure that this would disqualify the run, unless it's specifically allowed in a particular category.

Practice mods are occasionally used if, say, there’s a tricky section 1.5 hours in. With route highlighting or landscape deemphasizing, if necessary. Speedrunning has slowed to a crawl in the last decade so that seems unlikely.
