If you plan on running Google services, it won't let you reset because of FRP...
In the unlikely event that the thief managed to bypass FRP, it will be reinstated by GMS as soon as there's a network connection, assuming the IMEI or Android device ID haven't been spoofed (either of these on a Samsung would trip the Knox hardware fuse and disable a lot of features, making the device worthless to anyone who isn't a power user)
On my older Fairphone though I think there's some documentation on how to bypass FRP, but you need to get authorization from Google for your specific device on your specific account otherwise GMS will not work
