How can I backup the list of F-Droid apps I have installed on my phone right now so i can just import that list on another phone and don't have to install each app manually?

Does this work with non rooted phones too, and back up app data for F-droid apps still run into the back up limitations of non rooted phones?

Nope, for non rooted phone you might want to try Restic (I haven't tried it yet)

Edit

I just remember, there's APK Kit from f-droid repo, it doesn't need root access

Does APK Kit allow transferring user data, or does it just transfer the app?

I couldn't try it, because I can't grant access permission to user data on Android 13
