Setting up nee macs

You can use MDM if the number of macs justifies it:

Apple Platform Deployment – Apple Support (UK)

If you don't want to go there, i'd just set up one mac exactly as wanted, then make a Time Machine backup of it and use it on the other macs to migrate from.

One Size does Not fit All 

If the new computer is going to be the Apple Silicon M1 / M2 Equipped Computer - would suggest Only Migrating the User Account and nothing more.

Some have had success.

Others have been left with a mess when Migrating everything.

1 - Apple Silicon with Ventura macOS 13 Only Support everything 64 bit and there is no workaround.

2 - Issues that may exist on the older computer will be migrated to the New Computer. This would badly pollute the new Original and Pristine installation of the new OS.

3 -  Applications, extensions and Software Drivers may or may not even work on the new computer.

4 - IMHO - it would be best to only install new application etc Directly from the Developer or the Apple Apps Store.

5 - Due Diligence on New Applications and make sure they are Ventura / Monterey / Big Sur compatible and factor in the ARMs CPU of the Apple Silicon Computer  

Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper! are two well known cloning software purveyors.

What is there to clone in a bunch of brand new Macs? They're already all alike ....mostly.
