This updates the recommendations a little bit, to include a caveat about passing just plain systemd.factory_reset=1. We probably don't want to encourage that too much, because it skips half of the factory reset infrastructure we have. I'm picturing other hardware, outside of the TPM, not being fully reset because this half was skipped. For example: maybe some hardware-specific builds of Particle OS need an extra step during factory reset to tell the fingerprint sensor's secure enclave to wipe fingerprint sensor data on next boot. Skipping that step may render the fingerprint sensor unusable. Point is: it might be safe to skip factory-reset.target now, but some future version or hardware-specific variant of an OS might rely on that functionality, introducing some very subtle and undebuggable issues.
