I'll definitely do something like this the next time. This one just caught me by surprise; I should have done the research, or listened to him when he asked if I'd backed up my data (they always ask that, even if there's little chance of an SSD wipe), but apparently the SSD encryption module (touchid) and keyboard are all the same unit, so replacing the known defective 2016-2018 keyboards wipes everything. True world class engineering from Apple, but what can you do, there's plenty of blame on my side as well.
