HTF does stripe know you from Adam?

Or do they just ban the card used to make the first payment on every integration (while ringing a bell and high fiving each other)?

Stripe knows your name, which you had to submit to go live. If your first payment is with a credit card in your name, particularly if it's a large amount (which the fraud system flags as money laundering), you will get banned with 100% certainty. Ask a friend who doesn't share your last name.
