I understand what you're saying.

What you're saying is that you have your tools and files strewn about all
over your garage workbench desktop, and if I suddenly called independent
cleaners to your house, and they piled all the tools and data that you have
strewn about on your desktop into a big box, you'd *never* be able to put
them back in the hugely disorganized mess that *was* your desktop before
the cleaners arrived.

In stark contrast, I have a desktop with as many apps as you have, but
which is well organized (and where less often used apps are accessed from
inside the app drawer apps):

And, I keep all my *data* (including app data!) in 
/extSdCard/data/{my hierarchy}.

The tools are in the /extSdCard/data/software/{APKs by folder} using the
*same* folder hierarchy as my desktop uses.

So, it *is* trivial to reinstall everything.
I don't even back things up (since they're already on the SD card).

1. I remove the SD card & SIM card (just in case).
2. I factory reset
3. I put back the SD card & SIM card

That gives me all my data (including app data!).

4. Then I reinstall all the apps, folder by folder, from the APKs.
(Notice there is no need for Google Play or F-Droid at this time!)

5. The only "complex" thing is that I have to set up things, but luckily
the file-redirector apps work just fine from their backup data. 

So, the only thing I have to *manually* set up are the *permissions* which
are different from default.

Which is why you see a spate of posts from me on how to best make those
decisions of non-default setup for the apps and the operating system.

I'm always honing my setup. Every single day.
Because I'm *organized*, it's trivial to recover from a factory-default.

That holds true for Linux, iOS, Windows, or Android - although the huge
limitations of iOS make any attempt at an organized plan a shamble.
