They need to step up their backup game. It's the only thing I truly miss about switching to android. With iOS you could always restore your device to what it was before. But with android, even with the Google backup service there are so many gaps left. Homescreen icons organisation, app settings, even android settings themselves or not always properly saved or restored.

The hard part with Android, especially in regards to icons organization, is that this is entirely Launcher dependent, so it would more be the job of your launcher's developers to allow those data to be properly backed up.

I've been only using stock android phones, first nexus now Nokia, no custom launcher or anything. If even the Android core developers don't do it right what can you expect from 3rd party?
