I have a Certify on 2x 10TB SATA HDD’s that's been going for 48 hours and has 30 hours remaining. However, (stupidly, I know) I only just read the detailed installation instructions for apple silicon macs (I’m on an M2 MB Air running macOS 14 Sonoma). Apparently I was supposed to enable reduced security and enable full disk access? I just went through the standard installation, restarted when it asked so it could install the driver, and it all seemed to install fine. Didn’t get any prompts to say I needed to do Reduced Security or Full Disk Access, so assumed it had installed fine
My question is, does this matter for the verify function on external hdd's in a usb enclosure? Have I wasted the 48-hours it's taken thus far and need to start again with the proper installation method?
There haven’t been any errors during the verify function, and it’s on its 2nd pass and seems to be going fine so far. I'm hoping that I haven't wasted my time, and that those functions are only needed if I actually then went on to create a software RAID, or else run those functions on the system ssd? Is this the case, or I have been wasting my time?

There is no longer a requirement for reduced security on 13.3 and later.
And, the certify process does not use the SoftRAID driver, so it would work in any case. You are 100% OK
