I did.
I'd also suggest to do this as a bashscript. While having my previous laptop with Catalina, I wrote it once and each time after the OS was updated I had to run it (5 seconds and it's good again).
Here's what I've compiled for my MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) Big Sur 11.6:
Bash:
#!/bin/bash
# Macbook Pro M1 Big Sur
# Reboot your Mac into Recovery Mode by restarting while holding power button, then click options, the Terminal from top menu
# csrutil disable
# csrutil authenticated-root disable
# reboot to desktop
# Find your root mount's device - run mount and chop off the last s, e.g. if your / is /dev/disk3s1s1, you'll mount /dev/disk1s2
mkdir -p -m777 ~/mount
sudo mount -o nobrowse -t apfs /dev/disk3s1 ~/mount
sudo rm -rf ~/mount/System/Applications/Chess.app
sudo rm -rf ~/mount/System/Applications/Contacts.app
sudo rm -rf ~/mount/System/Applications/Dictionary.app
sudo rm -rf ~/mount/System/Applications/FaceTime.app
sudo rm -rf ~/mount/System/Applications/FindMy.app

killall Dock
echo -e "\033[1;31m THANK YOU APPLE \033[0m"
reboot for changes to be applied
This was mentioned countless times, but I will do it again. csrutil commands cause irreversible changes e.g. mac apps won't work etc, that's fine by me, but you need to know exactly what you're doing.
