I thought this would be brilliant, so I clicked 'try it out' only to get through and be asked to manually write in the tasks. I have a huge backlog already in an external tool.

I can't comprehend I'm expected to write them out one by one with no ability to import that I can see.

Haha, at least tell me which external tool you'd like me to add an import from, and I'll be happy to add it to my backlog.

Tool is irrelevant, it’s very surprising you don’t have some basic CSV import, or JSON or any other data interchange format.

It’s one thing to type in a few tasks on a small project but it’s completely unrealistic to expect me to manually re type 100s of tasks.

Not trying to be snarky, I just didn't understand what you needed. Json import is not something any other users have brought up, but I'm happy to look into it.

I'm working on CSV export, first, but I will absolutely keep this in mind.
