Personally, I think it'll suck every bit of nutrient it can away from from your strawberries. Weeds usually struggle to grow amongst mine.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Lettuce are a fast growing "catch crop" and can be out before the plants get too big. We are talking plants that need to be around for at least 3 years.

In my limited experience, strawberries are useless with any kind of competition. I guess that's the real reason they are always mulched.
Sweetcorn and beans are supposed to be good togeether, but I think they will need a lot of watering.
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".
