Considering there's still a "system configuration" step that relies on Apple Support, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll just deny it for you because they don't approve of you working around their restrictions. Similarly, for the tooling, is it actually available to purchase or is it a rental only? If it's a rental they might still retaliate (beyond just keeping your deposit) by banning your account and/or devices and/or denying future "system configuration" on any parts ordered on it to prevent people from "purchasing" the tooling that way.
