The first game had all these books potentially raising the character's stats to 19.

Now BG2 doesn't let you go above normal amounts when making a new character but an imported character could have several 19s. It's sort of an interesting thing on how to role play because one can edit in such values in a game editor on the assumption you would've used those to boost your stats.
It makes me wonder if I should just leave the stats at max or edit them to pretend I used these books to raise my stats.

At the end of the day it's just down to your personal feelings/rules/ethics etc.
I couldn't just start playing BG2 without finishing BG1, but if this does not bother you, then why not edit stats.
I actually played BG1 through with about 8 different chars before I ever got BG2, so I had a large collection of legit guys to do BG2 2 with.
I'd just edit it in a game editor. If I did BG1 as how I'd roleplay I'd do it, I'd do the full length.
I never go through all of BG1 without when I go to BG2, I think "You know I want to try to different character plan than I had in BG1" and sometimes restart it early on wanting to redesign the character again.
I notice Viconia goes up 3 points in wisdom (there are 3 wisdom books) and Jaheira goes up 3 in dex (only 1 dex tome). So maybe the game assumes you gave them to those NPCs. I dunno. There's no roleplaying of fighting over loot like what happened in the book, The Hobbit.
BG1EE would let someone import a level 40 character?
As long as you have fun and dont make the game too easy for your level of knowledge and skill i dont see any problem.
Imo the only problem is when whe accept the cheats of an Authority, the developers in this case, as legit, just cause them come from that Higher Power, without even realizing that are blatant cheats. A shield that makes battles against the powerful beholders so easy? Come on! And sotm, rov and the rest...
But as we are talking of a game as long as we have fun...
What frighten me is the Authotities cheating in rl and so many people dont even noticing it.
But that last thing is maybe slightly ot, i apologize.
Oh, the fond memories of my very first attempt at stat editing back in the days. I had a character with all the tomes in her inventory and then used export and multiplayer parties until I had a character with 25 in all stats. That was a fun run.
