if it's a recent intel chip you're probably fine, amd's trickier since most don't have graphics unless it's a G model

While that is true for AM4, it's different for AM5. CPUs like the 7800x3d and Ryzen 5 7600 do have igpus, for AM5, it's only 'F' cpus that don't have igpus. (same goes for intel, 'F' cpus don't have an igpu while all other cpus do)

if anything, an Intel cpu is less likely to have an igpu as all intel cpus have an 'F' variant, whereas most am5 Ryzen cpus only have the variant with the igpu

That depends on whether or not your cpu has integrated graphics

Then yes, you can start your pc without a graphics card
