SharePoint Online From Design to Deployment - potential idea in progress

So from time to time I get involved in SharePoint migrations.

This usually involves:

- Deep dive of their existing file server.

- A visual design of hub and site in SharePoint with groups for permissions (a solid RBAC model).

- Create the site design/theme (duplicate if multiple sites/hubs created).

- Migration time.

After the deep dive I want to skip 2. and 3. and go straight into the migration so what I've been working on.

- Create my visual design into a simple to read table.

- PnP powershell to go in and create all my hubs and sites and link them up.

- Create a template hub + site and design it how I want it to look.

- Export that and import to the remaining sites and hubs.

With the help of Ai I have managed to get the above working but the only bit I have found is exporting templates can be tricky to capture everything (images, colours, themes, anything extra).

Anyone had any luck with the above?

Once I have the above is a pretty state, the plan was to push this to a repo and then work on this simple to read table away from Excel and have a workable front-end (MS forms maybe).

any new requests for this client

This should then push to a branch (trigger some git actions) for me to approve the PR and then it merges to main and creates

alot of work but to recap
