hi! depends on your integration, it's common to create a Customer+PaymentIntent when the payment page loads for example, and not everyone who visits will complete a payment.
You can ignore such customers.
You could also consider using the new "deferred" integration where you don't need to create the Customer+PaymentIntent until the pay button is pressed https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred

Hmm, this is helpful. Would you also create-customer right when they click pay?
The goal is to avoid creating 100s of empty customers in the dashboard

When I mount payment elements without any interaction with the back end, is that information overridden when the BE is called (/create-subscription) upon clicking the form submit button and passing the client secret to Stripe?

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.
What information would be overridden? I'm not sure I follow.
