Do you think that when power goes up, that GPIO will remain in high impedance? No glitch?
Unfortunately you cannot be sure there won't be any glitch at power-up because of the high impedance. As @DrAzzy said, only a pullup will give you the guarantee that the TX line of your STM32 is at a known state at power-up.
Another way to avoid any confusion may be to hard reset the RN2483 after having configured the USART interface (pin 32 of RN2483), but then you need an extra wire...
