Almost all the set-up steps are integrated into Ubiquity. If I have to 
highlight two features from GNOME initial setup I will go with setting 
up online accounts with an screen with GOA embedded and after that an 
small but great set of videos explaining how GNOME-Shell works.

For us the best approach could be deactivate those steps that are 
already integrated in Ubiquity and show GNOME initial setup on first 
login with those steps are are interesting for Ubuntu GNOME.
