What is the fastest way to erase and update M1 (T2 chip) MacBooks to the latest version of macOS? Bootable USB installers? Apple Configurator via ThunderBolt/USB-C?

I have a few hundred M1 MacBook Airs that are running a wide variety of macOS versions. I want to wipe and update them to the latest version of macOS in the fastest way possible.

I downloaded the Ventura installer and created some USB boot disks—is that the fastest option?

Or is it possible to wipe and install via Apple Configurator? (I’m playing with this now, but it seems like it insists on downloading Ventura via the Internet every time—can I not just select the install package?)

Thoughts? Thanks,
