It took like 10 hours to backup all apps all data (things I don't usually backup). I do a nightly backup of the the key things. Will the nightly backup overwrite the BIG backup? Since the new phone doesn't have a physical SIM, it will have to the backup that loads the data.

It took 10 hours because it was your first time backing up to the cloud.

I have done the full back up to icloud of all apps and data in preparation for my new iphone 14 pro max. Phones arrives Friday, what about backups between now and then?

YOu can backup the phone again when you receive the new phone.
