That's interesting I didn't realize that steering wheel angle is adjusted electronically now, unlike the old days where you would just loosen a bolt, adjust the steering wheel and then retighten.
A lot of Clarity owners have either had dead batteries, or purposely disconnected the battery in order to reset the system to cure various odd symptoms. In fact I have done both of them one time each (of course only one of them was on purpose). When battery power is restored you get a slew of error messages about ABS and several other things not working, but within about a mile of driving the error messages go away. The only lingering effect of battery disconnect (or dead battery) that I am aware of is that it clears driving data so the EV range estimate is way off until you drive the car a few times. But I have never heard anyone report that their steering wheel was suddenly off-kilter after a battery disconnect. You would think that any adjustment for steering wheel angle is stored in non-volatile memory and is not lost after battery disconnect. But I guess the only way to know is to run the procedure, then disconnect the battery and see if it retains the adjustment or if it loses it and you have to run the procedure again.
