I don't know about gratuitous but the blips it makes do sound pretty good.

If you don't already do this it might be worth taking a moment or two to get your head around the change of task, before you set off for home. It's all too easy to jump from one mental environment to another without giving due consideration for what you're about to do, and the hazards you're likely to meet, and to switch your focus.

But then I hate cockpit drills with a passion. It's your own car FFS - if you don't know where all the controls are I'd suggest walking would be a safer option for all concerned.

that all the doors are shut properly by looking down the sides in mirrors, that any/all passengers are properly secured, that all warning lights come on as expected and then go out as expected, that you have sufficient fuel for the intended journey... etc.
Which of these basic pre-drive checks are pointless? or are you just having medication issues.

Actually, this may be sensible even if they've not been moved. We change shape during the day (SD becomes The Hulk on occasion ), typically by shrinking slightly, so a mirror set in the morning may not be quite right in the afternoon and evening.

Many cars have a warning light to save you the time
