Nope. No longer at all.

Restoring many GB of data DOES take a long time. Especially from spinning
rust. Double especially so from 540rpm spinning rust.

Of course not, you are talking orders of magnitude more data.

Doing a time machine restore of all of your data is faster, and SAFER,
than doing so manually, and about the same time as restoring from a
clone.

Try timing it sometime instead of relying on your incorrect impressions.
