Save document library as a template option has disappeared

I would guess that the have moved to the new way of saving document library as templates using site scripts!
As the old way was made for classic SharePoint and probably has been deprecated:
Use this script to create templates

$AdminCenterURL = "https://Contoso-admin.sharepoint.com"
$ListURL = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/supersecretsite/Secret"
$TemplateName = "Secret Library"
$TemplateDescription = "Document Library Template for Secrets"
$TemplateThumbnail = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/SiteAssets/Super-Secret-template.jpg"
#Connect to Admin Center
Connect-SPOService -url $AdminCenterURL
# Get the Template from the Library
$ListTemplate = Get-SPOSiteScriptFromList -ListUrl $ListURL
#Create a site script
$SiteScript = Add-SPOSiteScript -Title $TemplateName -Description $TemplateDescription -Content $ListTemplate
#Create a Site desing for the site script
Add-SPOListDesign -Title $TemplateName -Description $TemplateDescription -SiteScripts $SiteScript.Id -Thumbnail $TemplateThumbnail -ListColor pink
Thanks for your reply Nicolas, unfortunately I don't use PowerShell!

Unfortunately this is the currently only way for you to create Organizational Templates for Libraries. so if you want to use them on multiple sites, this is the way to do it
If it's on the same site, you can choose the option "From existing Library", but that's it
