Most of my seedlings have developed flowers already. I pinched them all. I've got another 2-3 weeks before I start hardening off.

Best I can say is that some do and some don't and there are those who have actually experimented.That means planting out young seedlings, maybe 4 of each of one variety and then taking off the blossoms on 2/4 and letting the other 2 not taking off blossoms and seeing if it makes a difference.
And in most reports back that I remember it made no difference at all.
But also know that not all varieties form roots and shoots in the same way re a timeline.
