If I’m going to enable or run either AIOSEO or Yoast on a site for the first time, can I/should I do this with a coming soon plug-in running and enabled, or will it ‘misread’ the site in some way, should I rather run and set this up after removing the coming soon/maintenance state?

I’m not a fan of coming soon pages unless you have a large marketing prelaunch that can collect some sort of following/subscriber list or further use the site for information.
If you’re looking to cold launch and start from scratch with SEO, go ahead just launch content as you build it so that Google starts to index your content based on niche rather than “coming soon” as the content to index.
The reality is, most people aren’t going to get authentic visitors right away, so might as well let the only visitor you have (Google) the right content to index for authentic visitors that will come later.
As you make your changes, Google will update their index overtime. If you do a coming soon and already have visitors, you’re going to hurt your time on page because they will bounce. There’s few reasons to use a generic coming soon page.
Agreed. Get it indexed while you start building since it’s a new site.
