The extruder isn’t needed right away, and if you print a good filament guide you won’t need it at all since the filament wont wear into it. You can also get a sheet of glass or mirror at home depot or lowes for cheaper, which is what I am going to do soon. So far the regular bed has been working fine for me. For the springs, I actually just bought these today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTGXYLW/. They should work well as they’re marketed towards the printer. The PTFE tube isn’t an upgrade I’ve done but you can for sure.
Aside from the suggestions about lowering the Z stop....

replace the stock springs with something stiffer like this -- if you set things so they are midway tight after homing your host end you will get a more consistent level for longer... in my case I check level on most prints, but only have to adjust maybe every 15~20 prints...

Second, if your screws spin on their own... just put a drop of elmers under the screw head between it and the aluminum plate... it just gives it something keep it in place verse free spin...
​
Last, but not least... I use this marked at proper levels so I can swap out bed surfaces (plain, glass, PEI sheet on glass, etc) ... then it is just a few turns up or down to get everything back into the right position and check level...
