Yup.....the X1 kinda seems like a waste of money in that context.

Was there any telemetry recording Welch's earlier flight? Any instrument recording the fact to prove it? Is it verifiable?

Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't mean he didn't do it though. Also doesn't prove that he did. But, where there's smoke, there's fire.
