Neo Store which can be downloaded from f-droid let's you favorite apps and export that list.
I was able to use Neo Store to export favourite apps as you suggested, but I wasn't able to import apps back, not sure what am I missing ....
It should have imported the list of favorite apps but not the apps itself, since it doesn't do that type of back up. Did you import with the xts file?
Does hitting the top left 'favorites' change up the apps displayed?
OK, I see what it's doing. If an app was removed from the favourite list, the import of the backup file will add the missing app back to the favourite list.
That actually does not do what I was after.
I am still looking for an app that will recognise all the installed F-Droid apps, so that I'll be able to backup the apps to a backup list. Then use the app and the backup list to reinstall the apps on another phone.
Can't think of anything that does that other than getting something like something swift backup which uses root or shizuku to back up and restore select apps and their data
