I can't imagine changing things up in July for an August deployment window. Our entire workflow is based on what we currently know. Sad thing is, we in education need to know about the tools now and not later. Let's hope Apple is working on things and we will see things by summer. If we could remotely wipe and reset our Macs using APFS, this would be very much like wiping an iPad and off it goes back to the original state and new stuff flowing to it. This got me thinking, perhaps at WWDC this year, we will hear more about management tools that will assist us. He couldn't confirm it would ever come to light, but said he hoped we would hear more by summer. I suspect you might be onto something with relation to the APFS and remotely wiping. He told me that Apple is actively working on solutions for all of this. We went through everything including whitelisting the IP address of our netboot server. We were attempting to get remote NetBoot/NetInstall to work. Hello I had an interesting conversation with an Apple support engineer a week or two ago. I've heard that they are working on something in this regard, but I'm not them or that close to them so their actions will speak louder than any words I know of. That way it is as simple as it is to wipe an iPad. I would also love some sort of way to have a clean snapshot of say a new OS and get it out to the fleet. If they had some tool to snapshot a clean virgin OS on a machine and give us some means of reverting the hard drive back to a snapshot that would help. I believe Apple may be planning to throw us a bone on that though.especially given the move to APFS.

If I can solve the seemingly simple, yet incredibly vexing problem of how to get the Vanilla OS on a DEP-assigned machine, I would feel great.

I don't have an iMac Pro to play with so I can't really test whether thumb drives created with the installer on them using the createinstallmedia switch. (I would love for someone to prove me wrong on this using tools other than NetBooting or thumb drives.) Given that we lose NetBoot, the only way I can see to clean the hard drive is to boot up to Internet Recovery.
Pre-iMac Pro days, I would have said to use a NetInstall with automator configuration actions and I tested that and it worked. What I have not yet solved is what you are seeking to know.how do you get the hard drive wiped and the OS back on there (using the standard installer) in an automated manner. My scripts even kick the machine into the right JSS groups and handle AD binding.

Essentially what I am working toward is using DEP for enrollment and some custom scripts I wrote (tied to the relevant Jamf triggers) to get the provisioning of software the exact way I want it and have pretty much gotten through these scripts, the machine how I want it. Almost have a workflow that has solved this but am not 100 percent there yet.
