Have to say I find this question unusual, for no dig.
My advice: save your soil and soil life, leave soil in place, mulch on top.
As well as the extra work, you would lose fertility, and have sunken beds.
Plus lose loads of time and effort.
Feeling energetic? Source more materials and make compost. It’s more useful than loam plus usually has fewer weeds.
