Hi guys!

Are factory reset made through maintenance mode are enough to delete all traces of CFW and HBs, making Switch clean to play online (and create an emunand)?

Factory reset does not fully delete all traces of CFW. You would need to have the clean backup nand that was created before any modifications to the console was made to have a clean nand to be able to use online services.
