I do this regularly and decided to, instead of automating things, simplifying and reducing my setup. I have a private cloud that stores documents, all software is in Git repositories. Setting up a new machine is really just copying my private key, setting up cloud access and emails, cloning repositories and copying my nvim config. Comparing with my colleagues, I have to add that I hardly keep any personal stuff on my machines - I have no photos, music and movies are streamed. I use 128GB of my 512GB storage (including cloud and software). I also try to go with defaults as much as possible.
