The bundles are known to have either 2.3.0 or 3.0.0 versions. Best check the serial number on the box and compare it to the serial number thread for a better chance at getting the correct firmware.
To avoid update, just stay off the internet. Keep the tablet in airplane mode, or use the DNS to block updates. Also, you won't be able to play splatoon 2 since the bundle gives you a digital code, and you'll need to update to download that game, so that's something to consider.
