I agree the recover password flow isn't ideal and could do with some
improvements. I would target that to next round though.

I can see cases where a user should only be allowed to login if they
already have MFA registered, as well as cases when they are allow to login
after they have registered an MFA.
Yes, so with this configuration and with assuming that user doesn't yet
have any credential configured, he will be able to choose the credential to
register from those 4 possibilities. Otherwise if he already has some
credential configured (EG. OTP), he will need to provide this OTP during
authentication.
BTV. One thing, which we didn't yet talked much about is the ability to
reset the credential. For example if user above losts his phone, then he
should be somehow able to restart OTP or even choose different mechanism to
register for 2-factor authentication. Currently it is possible to reset
OTP, but you need to use "reset-credential" flow for it. This flow requires
user to reset all his credentials, not just one of them, which is usually
requested IMO.
Also it is currently triggered by click to link "Forget password" . Which
is far from obvious that this can be used to reset OTP credential (together
with required reset of password credential). JIRA exists to improve on
this:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-11919 . I am not sure
about priority, but it affects end user experience and hence probably could
be considered. However it may turn into some non-trivial amount of work to
do it a bit more properly...

The orchestration of "register 2nd factor credentials" is just easier when
