I guess it may be possible to configure a system, turn on ARD, then
delete the .AppleSetupDone file and all services should be running, but
I am not sure how launchd handles all of that and what is the sequence. 


I think that would be worth a try though.

Have you tried forcing the setup assistant on a computer that has  
Apple Remote Desktop configured and enabled?  Then you could take the 

screen shots from a remote computer running the ARD Admin software.
