Yes, in fact I have restored from my workstation to my mac mini and MBP in the past. Closing across two drives daily is probably not worth it. You'd be better off rsync / rdiff over your local network

ok sounds reasonable, but can you also sync system files (like installed homebrew etc) that way ?

Yes, you can sync /opt/ and make sure to have some key excludes in there (/var/ and /etc/ being the most likely)
