I have a wife, two small kids, and two dogs. For what it's worth in making your decision, I haven't for a second considered the 2-door (I also, like you, prefer the look of the 4-door).
This is exactly how it’s been described by at least one dealer on this site. Everyone is ordering and then any that get pushed will have to submit a new order for 2022. Makes sense - if order conversion is lower than Ford is predicting, all orders may end up being a 2021.
I think the clarification you are looking for is whether they are choosing to honor X-plan pricing with a valid PIN even though Ford is not (currently) supporting it.

Information about trim level aside, I read this as you have 7 days to confirm the order info once you build and submit it to Ford/dealer. Not 7 days after B&P goes live.
This. The recessed 8" screen with those thick dash bezels is . . . terrible. Looks like a first gen infotainment system from 10 years ago, especially for a vehicle delivered in 2021/22 (to go along with the non-LED taillights).
