No longer needed on an up-to-date system.

You can probably drop the wlandebug_wlan0 as well, unless you are experiencing
problems.  Leave it as #wlandebug_wlan0 maybe.

Anything from here onwards should not be needed on an up-to-date

loaded the driver from kld_list before, manual loading should also not
have been needed anymore.
