I'm seeking opinions about protecting the car during this initial drive. At a minimum, I'll probably do fairly heavy painters/masking tape. Alternatively, renting a trailer. I appreciate any input.
If you're not doing clear bra then I don't see what difference it makes. Your car will get chipped, and chips don't interfere with the detail and Opticoat job.

If you were doing clearbra it would be a different situation.
