Archiso appears interesting. You can create a backup of your system into an ISO file. Add the necessary applications, though the setup steps aren't clear.

It’s not meant to serve as a complete backup solution on its own. Instead, look for tools that operate quietly in the background, ideally checking regularly—perhaps every hour. What’s important is your personal information, not the software itself, which can always be reinstalled. This approach aims to build a tailored installer or recovery system, such as a tool that can rebuild an unresponsive setup and/or retrieve lost data.

MX Linux includes a feature to generate an iso of your current configuration with minimal effort. All personalized options, including saved credentials, will function correctly on the PC where you install the iso. The only drawback is that opting for a more intuitive distro might make it harder to admit you're using Arch.

Would love it if this were a separate utility instead.

Google indicates some users have successfully added "MX Tools" to other distributions. It's unclear how well it performs on those setups.
