Tried the Samsung site again today and this time actually found 
something useful, WiFi settings ARE included in Cloud backups:

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/apps-services/use-the-samsung-cloud-to-back-up-and-restore-data-to-your-galaxy-device/

So, as a test of how specific I could be, I tried restoring the backup 
to the tablet, rather than the phone, reasoning that it being the source 
of the backup it was less likely to be affected for the worse by the 
restore, but again the only choice I got was "Settings", I couldn't 
choose which settings to restore.

An I still can't find out how to get the backup somewhere more useful to 
me, like onto my PC.
