Yes; most of those only fire once on boot and are no longer needed
afterwards.

Possibly. Keep in mind dom0 runs Fedora 25, so does not have newer
drivers. In most cases, it does not matter. You could try to remove it
and see what happens. On this and your other hardware related questions,
you could also try booting a newer version of Qubes (i.e. 4.0.2rc3) or
another distribution like Debian 10 on the same hardware and
cross-referencing logs.>

No, it is present on mine.

No, but I am not aware of any functionality the software provides that
can't be accomplished some other way. Not really Qubes related, though.

Yes, Xen/Qubes blocks some direct hardware access.

Typical on a remount.

My logs show it too.

Same.

Did you install something in dom0? Generally, you should not. Uninstall
it or reinstall Qubes and the error should go away.

Email isn't sent anywhere, because sendmail isn't installed.

Were you having trouble with XFCE windows in Qubes? If not, there's
nothing to solve! Ignore the messages unless you're experiencing problems.
