Does anyone know if it's possible to allow an NPC race to be added to character creation, specifically for players of GM mode? If it is I'd be quite happy spending yonks watching tutorials on the editor and bumbling around to make it work, but I don't wanna waste my time only to find out it's not even possible. Thanks in advance o/

Technically it would be possible. The main problem is that NPC races generally don't come with all possible animations that a player character may need, so not all skills and other animations will work. This won't crash the game, but the character may either do nothing, or have weird (blocked out, but not finished) animations in certain situations. I don't think it will block the game or stop gaming mechanics from working, but I'm not 100% sure.

Is there a simple check box to do this, as there is for putting characters in arena and gm mode?

No. See https://docs.larian.game/My_first:_Character_creation_origin for how to do this. I've noticed the template file is missing though. I'll contact the person who created that page tomorrow to add it.
