Once set up Lineage is actually very much a normal Android experience and i have set up devices for non technical users before. but it would be very much what one of us would do to set up the device for a friend/customer.

I have done something very much like this with my Nexus7

Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory data reset will do that.  That'll also wipe out everything else you've done though.  It might be possible to add another account, then delete your account, but they might have left "delete account" out of the interface.

How can I set up an android tablet (Nexus7) with
a couple of apps installed but without being on
a Google account?

 Don't set one up in the first place.  This was possible in older versions of Android, not sure if it's mandatory on newer ones.

even have Google apps or the Google play store.

http://f-droid.org/ has a bunch of open source Android applications of varying quality, but will probably not help Joe remove the google account.  LineageOS is only relevant if you want to replace the entire OS on the tablet.  That's probably not what Joe wants if a non-technical user is going to be using this tablet.  (At least installing LineageOS on a Nexus device should be much easier than installing it on some phones.)
