Are de-kitted lenses more prone to sample variation?

No one has the kind of data needed to know the answer to your question.

But if I were speculating, I'd guess the highest risk of getting a bad lens comes from the first batch produced, before the manufacturer has had time to make any needed adjustments (human and/or mechanical) to the manufacturing process.  So the question would be whether the kits get the first lenses or whether they are sold separately first, then later added to promotional kits.  And that would depend on the specific lens and specific country of sale, as it really does vary.
