Is this an impractical idea?

Yes.
Better off with full backups to an external drive that includes restore points and keeping a fresh new in box drive on the shelf.
Swap it in and do a system restore and off you go.
If you are keeping nucs mirrored you are putting wear on both.
With SSDs it’s the finite read / write cycles you need to worry about.
