First work I’m going to do on my new Nissan leaf is rip out the modem

You may want to check with your insurance company on that.
I don't pretend to know the intricacies of the legal world but 'tampering' with safety systems would likely be frowned upon/denial of claims etc.
Is the modem a 'safety system'? Would a lawyer find a way to define it that way when told to by said insurance companies?
The counter point is, again by general scuttlebutt not fact, there isn't a 'modem' listed on any part list for vehicles. Is it 'missing' if it was never sold to you? 😜

Yes. This is my very rough guide. Says it won’t void the warranty (power train at least)

good to know about the warranty side of things at least.
