Some people on rooted devices use Migrate or Neo Backup (formerly OAndBackupX) but I never tried to restore those so can't comment.

I'm assuming you're already rooted based on your question? That should make things easier. I personally use a root backup app like Neo Backup to backup apps and app data and store it on a hard drive along with other important files. Also, if you're willing and the option's available, I would make a TWRP backup just in case. Then you can clean install and restore your apps and files separately. Encryption shouldn't be an issue if you backup using an app.

NeoBackup should be decent if you're digging for an OSS solution.

With root access the Neo Backup app is great: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup/releases/. Yes, I tried it on WSA too and it works.

I'm tempted to switch to a Google Pixel phone with GrapheneOS but for now I couldn't find any alternative to Neo-Backup, which requires root.

If you just need them for backup, I'd just get regular HDDs, and even better, put them outside of the PC into a separate system, even a raspberry pi 4 with USB HDDs would do. I use burp backup at home https://github.com/grke/burp (I run the server on a separate Linux PC with 2 HDDs in mirror), it's pretty simple to set up, if you're familiar with Linux and editing config files.
