Anyone have been there since?
If it's against a wall, just cut the unwanted width off the back edge. The raw wood will be hidden.

Don't call the store though. 😜
I think they put the metal bars there because they assume people are going to use IKEA legs for the table top since the holes for them are pre-drilled in the bottom of the Gerton but if you're using it to make your own frame or put it on file cabinets or something, you don't need to worry about the extra stability the metal bits might provide.
I would also point out that all four sides of the Gerton table have a very slight beveled edge. It is tiny, maybe 1/8th of an inch, but if you cut one edge that edge will obviously not match the others. I personally redid all the edges on mine to have closer to a 1/4 inch 45 degree bevel but if you don't have access to a router it will not match.
All that said, there is no reason you can't trim it down. A circ saw and straight edge would get the job done. Just make sure to remove that metal bar and know that you'll need to rout the edges again if you want it all to match. I would also say to make sure you do NOT cut along any of the seams. The seams of the individual boards run the full width of the table and each board is 1.5" deep so I would plan to make your cuts every 3/4"-1" from the back edge or so to leave enough meat on that cut edge. So it is a 29.5" depth, I'd plan to make your cuts around 28.5, 27.5, 26.5, etc. That should leave you .5-.75" of board on the cut edge. Maybe up to 1" if you're going to clamp monitors or something to it.
It is strange because the crack/split between boards happened in an area that was under zero load and not even close to where its legs were screwed in so I think it could have also just been bad luck and nothing anything I did or anything the beams did.
All the others, and I've had 6 or 7 of these at this point, have been rock solid.
