What's the app data backup/restore story on GrapheneOS?

My understanding is that even with pseudo-D2D (device-to-device) transfers Seedvault doesn't backup everything[1].

Are there more-functional, non-root, local (non-cloud) alternatives?

~$1000 for the Pro B70, if Microcenter is to be believed:
