The operators wouldn't be tracking the IMEI of the adafruit GSM modules.
The ICCID of the sim card is unique. But it's not hard to buy pre-paid SIM cards with cash. So what is the ICCID going to tell an investigator.
Your argument is in that strange state of being right in spite of being wrong.
GSM hardware is the easiest for law enforcement to track because the protocol is comprehensively compromised by stingray devices.

Tampering with gsm equipment or importing unregulated equipment can land you in jail in many western countries. Pre-paid Sim cards might not be available anonymously in many places. Some will require id, some will require a billing card for data and there are quite a few mixes in between that make purchasing such item an issue if your freedom is on the line. Not to mention that it gives the investigator a point of sale which is very important. Stingray or not as its just a nonsensical brand like a billion out there I made it very clear in my post that due to the attention cellular technology has received from law enforcement agencies over the past 20 years or so GSM and other cellular systems are easily trackable.
