Essentially the process is using PowerShell PnP, but not the Transformation framework, I kinda developed my own I guess
1. Iterate through every page on system
2. For each page
2.1 Get HTML > Transform HTML to be compatible with SharePoint HTML (find and replace styling, html elements)

2.3 Upload transformed HTML into Text webpart sections of new page created
