My power went out during my last cook and I haven't had a chance to check for errors but could anyone here tell me if I will have a start up issue when I use my camp chef pursuit?

It might want to do a shutdown when you power it back up.
I would power it up and see what happens. If it starts up as normal I would power it off and let it do its thing followed by checking the burn pot and cleaning out in necessary.
I’m sure you will be good.

I had a couple of power outages mid cook on the pellet but it was daytime and I moved the meat to a gas grill to hold while i lit coal on the BGE to finish the cook.

I bought a 750 Watt inverter and it could easily run my pit boss pro pellet. I keep a spare battery in the garage hooked to a battery tender so I know it's charged.

Once the pellet is going there is not much power draw.

I sold the pellet and only used the inverter once on the pellet smoker to test it. IIRC, it was recommended on one of the forums. Maybe PB, maybe here.

I wouldn't expect a start up issue. Before you start it, as Darian said, you need to check the fire pot and make sure it's clear of pellets and ash. If it starts normally then you're good to go.
