Sorry, but I diasgree...we have been warned by Microsoft to avoid using the Save as template feature in SPO because is not the recommended option to provisiong sites based on templates. The recommended option is to make use either of PnP Templates or Site Templates (Site Scripts)

I understand what you're saying, but there is no simple way of doing this for the less technical people. I have literally spent 2 days trying to use PNP Powershell, SOMS shell and everything in between with failed commands being suggested, that are deprecated and constantly changing.
What happened to keeping it simple.
All I have is a nice clean site with 80 lists, about 10 pages and I just want to be able to copy the **bleep** thing as a template and re-use it ... shouldn't be this hard.
If there is a simple script ... I would love to see it because nothing I've found so far is simple.
