Your tillage sounds fine for here. Beans don't need the soil contact that others (like milo) need. I'm not familiar with that drill, but surely it has closers of some kind on it. I wouldn't run the packer on it - that's just an additional pass over the field and compaction you don't need. I've drilled beans and planted beans both in the same year (this year, in fact). The drilled did fine at its normal setting width. That doesn't work as well everywhere. Maybe you can see what many close farmers have done regarding spacing.
I think that you have a good opportunity because it has had beans. You won't have any doubt that your flex header will be fine. Nothing like cutting beans and jacking up your header because there's a surprise.
I wouldn't do without a soil sample. That needs to be the first step when taking over rented ground. Tell them what you are planting and they will tell you exactly what you need. Have a plan for weeds/spraying. You need the field to look nice so that the landlord doesn't regret the renter. This year staying ahead of the weeds was nearly impossible. I went 10k over my prepay on chemicals - $35,000 to keep everything in good shape.
