I wrote a tiny blurb about it here:

Most Time Machine weirdness comes down to metadata mismatches after migrating from machine to machine.

People who want something similar may want to look at Arq [1]. Similar to restic, it provides incremental encrypted backups to most cloud providers (or a machine with SSH). But it is a Mac app, making it easy to configure and maintain. I never had issues with data corruption so far.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, just a happy user for 9 years.
