Wow! Didn't know it'd be that simple.

It's a great feature. I've created ISOs to enable wifi on t2 macbooks and the libraries to tether from an iPhone over usb

Does the live iso created by this process include the dependencies or kernel modules upon live boot? E.g. could I use this to create an ISO image that includes, or pre bakes, any custom or necessary drivers for Nvidia GPUs or finicky Wi-Fi cards when used/booted as just a live USB? That could really help when you'd otherwise have a chicken and egg problem after a hard drive failure and no live USB to safe boot with working networking or display output.

Yeah, if you configure it to do so!
