We've signed you in prompt - Citrix Environment without the use of roaming profiles.
cafardijm at the moment there is NO gpo to enabled the sync (force it without user intervention).
There is a GPO to disable it. There is also a GPO to bypass the first run experience, but no auto logon if you do not enforce that (and end up with a Edge profile that the user cannot remove).
You speak about profile bloat, where? Everything that Edge does goes into AppData\Local, which is a problem to because that is a problem too, since some of the stuff is nice to roam.
AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge can grow pretty large, up to a Gig, why do you want that kept on a Citrix server?
We have a case open with MS regarding how to reconnect to the AAD account when there is no roaming profile on a system, and we have figured out a solution.
Would you like to have this solution?

Henno_Keers please share your solution 😉
We use VMware UEM / DEM for roaming support, but you can use regular roaming profiles aswell after modifying the standard exclusion of AppData\Local and letting parts roam.
What we roam is loosely based on:

Is there any an update regarding how to get rid of this windows on first launch ?
- I would like to have that solution as we are in the same boat in our citrix 7.15 environment
