What happens when one of those computers blows up and you need to get back to being productive quickly?

I don't need to sync between computers to accomplish that. Could just use something as simple as Dropbox.

BUT ALSO: There's nothing that important in my personal dot files. And anything work related is in specific git repos. I could be productive with the default zsh on a fresh install of macOS by installing home brew and a few packages.

I also haven't had a mac "blow up" in... 20 years?

Not the person you asked, but if that happens I restore from backup.
