looks great! I have a question about backing up my mac. Let’s say my mac is stolen/dropped from a bridge. Can I actually restore everything on a new mac, or still need to install and configure from scratch and “just” have a backup of documents, images etc?

It's a file level backup (as opposed to an image or disk backup). So anything related to the operating system is not backed up but all your "data" (documents, photos, music, movies, etc) is. Here is a support page that explains what is backed up by default (which you can ofc change) [1].
