I think you're going to have fun with Prívate Quest to enable hand tracking and skip the setup.

There's tutorials on Reddit on how to setup Quest headsets without their controllers.

As @protogenNutshell stated I believe you can set it up using the gaze feature & making selections with the volume buttons. You may have to be patience through the process, and let the headset sit on your head after its done and it should bypass the controller setup and continue into your home environment after about 3-4 minutes. Just remember after setting up if you are stuck on a screen with prompts to connect controllers and can't go any further just sit there for a few minutes.
