For me that would be a waste of time. Just because my setup seems perfect today, tomorrow I might decide to make changes to accommodate a new task. My pc's are living breathing machines that are always a day or 2 away from a slight tweak.
When I move to a new machine, I rarely want to replicate another machine I have as then I would have 2 machines setup for the same tasks. Each machine serves a different purpose so needs a different setup.
If I am replacing a machine, then I would transfer the physical disk itself. Only use clonezilla type tools for replacing a disk, as in replacing the sata SSD holding root with a new fast nvme.
It's easy to transfer config files from one machine to another if you want to replicate some specific setups.

What do you do when you need to restore from failure, for one of those specific tasks? Just build from scratch every time?
